Spotted bananas, on the other hand, contain much more simple sugars. During their maturation, the starch turns into glucose and fructose, which makes the fruit sweeter and more digestible. The downside is that these sugars can raise blood sugar faster. People with diabetes or those who follow a low-sugar diet should therefore consume them in moderation and in small amounts.
Antioxidant properties
One of the most interesting benefits of spotted bananas is their higher antioxidant content. These brown spots are indeed a sign of an increased concentration of beneficial substances, which:
Reduce inflammation
Support of cellular defense
can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular problems
Slightly ripe bananas are also beneficial, but contain lower levels of these protective compounds.
Digestive benefits
Lightly ripe bananas contain a greater amount of resistant starch, which acts in a similar way to fiber.
Serves as food for beneficial gut bacteria
Improves digestion
Helps you feel full longer.
Well-ripe bananas are more tender and easier to digest, but contain less resistant starch and, therefore, are less beneficial for the intestinal microflora.
