1. Green bananas
If you have blood sugar issues, green bananas are a great choice because they have a low glycemic index. Green bananas also contain more fiber, which can help improve digestion.
2. Yellow-green bananas
These bananas are perfect for satisfying your hunger. They’re slightly higher in carbs (meaning they keep you full longer), but yellow-green bananas also help maintain acceptable blood sugar levels.
3. Yellow bananas
For most people, this banana color is the most ideal. When bananas turn completely yellow, they are easier to peel and taste sweeter. This happens because the starch in them turns into sugar. And the antioxidants present in yellow bananas protect us from diseases.
4. Bananas with dark spots
They are high in sugar, but some scientists claim that bananas are good for cancer patients. Since bananas with dark spots are immune system boosters.
5. Brown bananas
These bananas are full of tryptophan, which is used to fight depression and anxiety. They are also good for muscle and bone health. Brown bananas are therefore ideal as a post-workout snack.
Well, now that you know how the color of bananas affects your health, which banana would you choose?
