Benefits of green banana biomass

Green banana biomass helps you lose weight and reduce cholesterol because it is rich in resistant starch, a type of carbohydrate that is not digested by the intestine and that acts as a fiber that helps control blood glucose, reduce cholesterol and give more satiety after the meal.

Green banana biomass has health benefits such as:

Help with weight loss, as it is low in calories and rich in fibers that give the feeling of satiety; Fight constipation, because it is rich in fibers; Fight depression, because it has tryptophan, an important substance to form the hormone serotonin, which increases the feeling of well-being; Decrease high cholesterol, as it helps to reduce the absorption of fat in the body; Prevent intestinal infections as it keeps the intestinal flora healthy.

To obtain its benefits, you should consume 2 tablespoons of biomass a day, which can be made at home or bought ready-made in supermarkets and health food stores.

The green banana biomass can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Fermentation of resistant starch

Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that the intestine cannot digest, so it helps reduce the absorption of sugars and fats from food. Upon reaching the large intestine, the resistant starch is fermented by the intestinal flora, which helps prevent problems such as constipation, intestinal inflammation and colon cancer.

Unlike other foods, intestinal fermentation of resistant starch does not cause gas or abdominal discomfort, allowing greater consumption of green banana biomass. In addition, it is important to remember that only the green banana has the resistant starch, as it is broken down into simple sugars like fructose and sucrose as the fruit ripens.
