Sometimes we buy bananas thinking that we will able to consume it straight away, but for some reason few left and over ripen. And we thought that it is no longer useful and ended up to our bins.
But do you know that over ripped bananas are rich in anti-oxidants?
Although over ripe bananas may not really look very appetising--the fruit turns soggy while the banana peel may turn black or brown--they are very good for our health. An overripe banana is rich in antioxidants, which, according to livestrong.com, is beneficial in preventing or delaying cell damage in one's body. This, in turn, lowers the risk of diseases. It also improves our immune system.
As a banana ripens, the starchy carbohydrates in them convert into free sugars, thus making these bananas easy to digest, according to dailysuperfoodlove.com. Green bananas, on the other hand, contain starches that are hard to digest.
When a banana becomes too ripe, its peel turns a few shades darker. The dark spots on the peel create Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a substance that can kill cancerous and abnormal cells, mentions healthy-holistic-living.com, in one of its articles.
According to sun-gazing.com, an overripe banana works as an antacid. The smooth texture of the banana lines the stomach walls and protects it from harmful acids and irritation.
As livestrong.com mentions, bananas are rich in potassium, regardless of their ripeness. This means that eating overripe bananas can keep your cholesterol levels in check. The fiber in a banana, on the other hand, can reduce the risk of a heart disease. The iron and copper in bananas are needed for good blood count and hemoglobin levels.
So, the next time you find bananas turning brown, do not throw them away.*
