Green bananas, often a staple in tropical and subtropical cuisines, are the unripe form of the common banana. Unlike their sweet yellow counterpart, green bananas have a firm texture and mildly starchy flavor, making them ideal for savory dishes. Rich in dietary fiber, they support healthy digestion, while their resistant starch acts as a prebiotic to nourish gut bacteria. Green bananas provide essential nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium, which can aid in energy metabolism and heart health. They are also lower in natural sugars compared to ripe bananas. Popular in Caribbean, African, and Southeast Asian dishes, green bananas are commonly boiled, fried, or mashed. While eating them fried can increase calorie content, they are a versatile and nutritious addition to meals when prepared healthfully.
