Green, yellow, with spots or overripe? Everything has its advantage.
Green Green bananas contain more fiber and less sugar than ripe bananas. Disadvantage:they can give you a bloated or painful stomach.
Solid yellow
A yellow banana is a bit sweeter than a green banana and also contains more sugars. Yellow bananas are full of potassium (a mineral that ensures good blood pressure, muscle function and heart rate) and manganese (a trace element that aids in the formation of bones and connective tissue).
Yellow with brown spots
As a banana ripens further, the number of antioxidants increases. The brown, more mature parts are also easier for your body to digest.
Soft and brown Admittedly, brown bananas may not look the best, but they are at their sweetest. This is because the sugar content has reached its peak. The number of antioxidants has also increased further. Not sure if you should still eat a banana? You can always use it to bake a banana bread. The sweeter the bananas, the sweeter your banana bread.
