Bananas are healthier to eat with the skin on. This surprising conclusion was made by nutritionists from the UK, follows from the material published by the British Dietetic Association British Dietetic Association.
Experts emphasize that the banana peel contains more nutrients than the pulp.
According to nutritionists, banana peel is rich in fiber, carotenoids, luteion, potassium, and magnesium. The peel also contains a lot of tryptophan, a substance necessary for the production of serotonin, the so-called happiness hormone.
Experts note that the peel of unripe bananas is hard and bitter, but when they are fully ripe, the skin becomes thinner, more tender and tastier.
However, you need to introduce it into the diet gradually – first in the form of a smoothie or a baked banana in a peel, nutritionists warn. According to them, tea will also help you get used to the peel: for this, a banana with a peel needs to be boiled for 10 minutes and then passed through a sieve, nutritionists advise, excerpts from the material are given by MedikForum.
