About Guineo
Guineo, commonly known as the green banana, is a staple in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. Unlike sweet ripened bananas, guineos have a starchy, mild flavor and are typically cooked or boiled as part of savory dishes or side dishes. Rich in dietary fiber, guineos support digestive health and help maintain blood sugar stability. They are a good source of essential nutrients like potassium, which promotes heart health and regulates blood pressure, and vitamin C, which boosts the immune system. Guineos also provide vitamin B6, aiding in energy metabolism and brain function. Since they are lower in sugar compared to ripe bananas, they are a healthier option for those monitoring sugar intake. However, preparation methods such as frying can increase calorie and fat content, so boiling or steaming is recommended to retain their nutritional benefits. Guineos are both versatile and nutritious, making them a valuable addition to a balanced diet.
