Besides being tasty, the green banana can also help reduce weight and cholesterol, and control the amount of sugar in the blood (glycemia). Rich in starch, the fruit also provides energy to the body, regulating the intestine and helping digestion.

The banana also has potassium, essential in cellular functioning, because it participates in all muscular processes in the body, including the heart. It also prevents the loss of calcium, helping to prevent osteoporosis. Another nutrient in the fruit is phosphorus, which is part of the composition of bones and teeth and participates in the digestion of carbohydrates.for cellular energy production and muscle relaxation, and is especially indicated for stressed people.

When found in the form of flour or biomass, the green banana maintains the same nutrients and calories.

In this case, the starch becomes more resistant and acts in the body in the same way as an insoluble fiber: it increases the fecal volume and the body's ability to release and decrease potentially carcinogenic toxins.

Green banana flour

The flour is rich in minerals, can be used in everyday life and bought in natural food stores or grocery stores. In conventional recipes, replace the common flour with half of the green banana flour. The food helps in the slow absorption of glucose, avoiding an unnecessary stimulation of insulin by the body. In the long run this prevents the onset of diabetes and contributes to a healthy lifestyle.healthier life.

Banana flour has a neutral taste and can be used in partial or total replacement of wheat flour.

Another option is to sprinkle the bran on meals, fruits, yogurt, or even water.

I recommend drinking 2 tablespoons a day, and you can start with 1 dessert spoon a day. In addition, it is important to drink plenty of water in order to have the desired effects. Otherwise, you may suffer from constipation, the uncomfortable "stuck bowel".

Green banana biomass

It has the same properties as green banana flour and can be bought in industrialized form (frozen) or made at home. See below for the recipe:

Ingredients

• About half a pot of water (enough to cover the bananas)
• 12 green bananas (prefer organic)

Material used

Pressure cooker, blender, fork, ice cube tray, and glass jar.

Preparation

Wash the green bananas without removing the handles. Fill the pressure cooker with half of the water and heat it up. When the water is bubbling, put the bananas in and cover the cooker. Wait for 10 minutes and let the pressure go away naturally.

After that, drain the water from the pan and be very careful when opening the bananas, so you don't burn yourself. If you prefer, use a fork. Put the pulp of the fruit - without the peel - to beat in a blender (a little hot water may be necessary). Put the mixture in ice cube trays and the other half in a glass jar, for up to 7 days.

When using frozen biomass, remove from the freezer the day before and place in the refrigerator, or microwave in a glass jar for 1 minute.
