As we age, bananas also concentrate key vitamins: vitamin C, to support the immune system, and vitamin B6, essential for proper brain function and the production of serotonin, the happiness hormone.
And what about allergies?
Bananas are generally well tolerated, but in some sensitive individuals (especially those allergic to latex), they can cause mild reactions. This is rare, but if you experience tingling or digestive discomfort, it’s best to seek medical advice.
Should you prefer green, yellow or brown bananas?
It all depends on your goals:
Green : ideal for blood sugar and fiber
Yellow : perfect balance, soft and nourishing
Brown : digestible, antioxidant, very sweet
Each color has its benefits. And sometimes, we simply choose them for their unique taste at each stage.
In conclusion: the brown banana, a fruit to be rehabilitated
Don’t throw away your overripe bananas! They might just be the fruit your body needs today: sweeter, yes, but also richer in vitamins, antioxidants, and digestive benefits.
And if you don’t like them plain, slip them into a smoothie, cake batter, or porridge. They transform into a creamy purée… and a 100% natural treat.
