Notes
- Never keep the open-cut banana in the open for too long as it gets oxidised and turns black.
- Immediately boil the banana in water and cook till mushy. Once cooled, peel it immediately and use.
- Raw bananas contain two types of fibre - resistant starch and pectin which makes one feel fuller.
- They also help in controlling sugar levels post meals.
- They are rich in potassium, and help in better iron absorption.
- They work as an excellent probiotic, feeding the friendly bacteria in the gut.
