The banana, the fruit we slip into our children’s school bags or gym bags, is one of the most consumed foods in the world. Practical, energy-packed, and inexpensive. But few people know that its nutritional profile changes radically as it ripens. Green, yellow, or brown: each shade tells a story… and influences your health.
What changes in a banana as it ripens
When green, bananas contain primarily resistant starch, a form of carbohydrate that our bodies don’t fully digest, much like fiber. This slows digestion, promotes satiety, and helps balance blood sugar.
But as it turns yellow, then brown, this starch transforms into simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose. The result: a melt-in-the-mouth texture, a very sweet flavor… and easier digestion. A plus for sensitive stomachs.
The benefits of ripe bananas
A sweet treat that is good for your digestion
The riper a banana is, the easier it is to digest. The enzymes already at work in the fruit make it easier for your stomach to digest. It’s an excellent choice for children, the elderly, or anyone with a sluggish digestive system.
And that’s not all: the soluble fiber it contains helps regulate transit, prevent constipation, and nourish good intestinal bacteria. A real support for digestive comfort.
