Monitor your sugar intake
Trying to control your weight
Need a constant and regular energy flow (e.g., before exercise)
Spotted bananas, on the other hand, contain significantly more simple sugars. As they ripen, the starch converts to glucose and fructose, making the fruit sweeter and easier to digest. The downside is that these sugars can cause blood sugar levels to rise more quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes or following a low-sugar diet should consume them in moderation and in small quantities.
Antioxidant Properties
One of the most interesting benefits of spotted bananas is their higher antioxidant content. These brown spots are actually a sign of increased concentrations of beneficial substances that:
reduce inflammation
support cellular defenses
may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular problems
Slightly ripe bananas are also beneficial, but contain lower amounts of these protective compounds.
Digestive Benefits
Slightly ripe bananas contain a higher amount of resistant starch, which acts similarly to fiber.
Serves as food for beneficial gut bacteria
Improves digestion
Helps you feel full longer.
Ripe bananas are softer and easier to digest, but contain less resistant starch and are therefore less beneficial for gut flora.
