Green bananas, commonly referred to as unripe bananas, are a staple ingredient in various cuisines, particularly in tropical regions like the Caribbean, Central and South America, and parts of Asia. These starchy fruits are rich in resistant starch, making them a valuable source of energy and aiding in digestive health by promoting gut-friendly bacteria growth. Unlike ripe yellow bananas, green bananas have a firmer texture and a less sweet, slightly nutty flavor, making them ideal for savory dishes like stews, curries, and fried snacks. They are low in sugar compared to their ripe counterparts and provide essential nutrients such as potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. However, their high starch content may be harder to digest for some, and moderation is key for individuals with sensitive digestion. Green bananas are a versatile and nutritious ingredient that bridges the gap between fruit and complex carbohydrates.
