Description

Eating green bananas is less familiar than one’s usual consumption of ripened yellow bananas. Green bananas are superfoods that are highly nutritious and contain resistant starch, which acts like a fibre as opposed to a carbohydrate.


WHAT IS GREEN BANANA FLOUR?

1. It is a SUPERFOOD
A quick Google search for the definition of a superfood says it’s “a nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being.”
This is generally a marketing term which offers no standard criteria, but which is awarded as a status to foods which :
• Offer several health benefits beyond its nutritional value
• Have exceptional nutrient density
• Usually rich in antioxidants, enzymes and health fats
• Are linked to the prevention of a disease or health condition
• Majority are found in nature and grow from the soil

2. It CONTAINS RESISTANT STARCH
Resistant Starch (RS2) is a starch that resists digestion in the small intestine and passes through the large intestine working like a dietary fibre. So much so, that the FDA recently categorized RS2 found in banana flour as a dietary fibre. Recommended daily intake is 20grams and it offers amazing health benefits specifically in the areas of:
1. Gut health
2. Immune health
3. Colorectal Diseases
4. Digestive issues
5. Type 2 Diabetes
6. Weight loss & treatment of obesity
7. Mood enhancer and natural anti-depressant

carbohydrate)

wheat flour suggested.
