Green bananas aren't necessarily bad — experts explain the hidden health perk
Green bananas may offer health benefits due to higher resistant starch content, which can help regulate blood sugar and act like fiber. Experts note that unripe bananas might not ripen properly if harvested immaturely or exposed to cold storage, causing 'chilling injury.' Both green and ripe bananas provide nutrients like potassium and vitamin B6, with the choice depending on individual dietary needs.
