Green Banana Benefits |

In addition to being tasty, green bananas can also help reduce weight and cholesterol, in addition to controlling the amount of blood sugar (glycemia). Rich in starch, the fruit also provides energy for the body, regulating the intestine and helping with digestion.

Banana also has potassium, essential in cellular functioning, as it participates in all muscle processes in the body, including those of the heart. It also prevents calcium loss, helping to prevent osteoporosis. Another fruit nutrient is phosphorus, which integrates the composition of bones and teeth and participates in the digestion of carbohydrates. The magnesium found in bananas is responsible for the production of cellular energy and muscle relaxation, being especially indicated for stressed people.

When found in the form of flour or biomass, the green banana maintains the same nutrients and calories.

In this case, the starch becomes more resistant and acts in the body in the same way as an insoluble fiber: it increases fecal volume and the body’s ability to release and reduce potentially carcinogenic toxins.

green banana flour

The flour is rich in minerals, can be used on a daily basis and can be purchased at health food stores or grocery stores. In conventional recipes, replace the common flour with half of the unripe banana flour. Food helps in the slow absorption of glucose, avoiding an unnecessary stimulus of insulin by the body. In the long term, this prevents the onset of diabetes and contributes to a healthier lifestyle.

Banana flour has a neutral taste and can be used in partial or total replacement of wheat flour.

Another option is to sprinkle the bran on meals, fruit, yogurt or even water. A good alternative for an afternoon snack, when hunger strikes.

I recommend taking 2 tablespoons a day, starting with 1 dessert spoon a day. In addition, it is important to focus on water consumption to have the desired effects. Otherwise, there may be intestinal constipation, the uncomfortable “trapped intestine”.

Green Banana biomass

It has the same properties as green banana flour and can be purchased industrialized (frozen) or made at home. See the recipe below:

Ingredients

About half a pot of water (enough to cover the bananas) 12 green bananas (prefer organic)

Material used

Pressure cooker, blender, fork, ice mold and glass jar.

Preparation

Wash the green bananas without removing the stem from the fruit. Fill the pressure cooker halfway with water and bring it to a boil. When the water is bubbling, add the bananas and cover the pot. Wait for 10 minutes to sizzle and let the pressure pass naturally.

After that, drain the water from the pan and be very careful when opening the bananas, so as not to burn yourself. If you prefer, use a fork. Put the fruit pulp – without the peels – to beat in the blender (a little hot water may be needed). Place the mixture in ice molds and the other half in a glass pot, for up to 7 days.

When using frozen biomass, remove it from the freezer the day before and place it in the refrigerator, or place it in the microwave, in a glass pot, for 1 minute.

mode of use

Beat in vitamins, juices, bean broth, soup, pâtés, bread and cake dough, etc.
