Do you prefer your bananas still slightly green, brown and squishy, or in between? You might think there's only one right answer, but now there are a lot of different opinions about the best time to eat the yellow tropical fruit.
A new snap that has gone viral on Instagram shared by the account fitness meals, which has 2.3 million followers, shows a bunch of bananas all at different levels of ripeness. They are all marked from numbers 1 through 15, with 1 being the most under-ripe, to 15 being the most over-ripe.
The image, which has more than 4,700 likes, asks you to pick your “perfect” banana from the bunch. The majority of banana fans said they would pick numbers 8 through 10 from the bunch. Some chose a more under-ripe 6 or 7 banana, while some said they would pick a very brown and speckled 11. However, a few said they liked a number 2 banana, 1 that is very under-ripe and is greenish-yellow in color.
Harley Street nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert shows that bananas are an excellent source of nutrients no matter how ripe they are. However, she says that if you are diabetic or have trouble digesting the fruit, it may be beneficial to eat a banana at a specific level of ripeness.Therefore, people who suffer from diabetes are advised to eat bananas that are not overly ripe so as not to improve their blood sugar too much. However, she says for the average person, a more ripe banana may be easier to digest.
Rhiannon explained, “If you love bananas, enjoy them the way you think they taste best.You could eat unripened bananas or ripened bananas and still reap the benefits of this nutritious fruit. The only difference is that for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes.”
