Dehydrated Green Banana
Available in powder Form.
We are a manufacturer of dehydrated banana powder. Green or unripe bananas contain more resistant starch, which can provide various health benefits. Resistant starches are not digested in the upper part of the digestive system and reach the large intestine where they act as food for beneficial bacteria. This can promote gut health and may even help with weight management.
Bananas are indeed rich in vitamins and minerals essential for the proper functioning of our bodies. The nutrient content of bananas varies depending on their ripeness, with unripe green bananas containing more resistant starch and less sugar than their ripe counterparts.
Dried bananas are a more concentrated source of calories and nutrients than fresh bananas due to the removal of water content during the drying process. This makes them a good option for people who need a quick energy boost, such as athletes or hikers. However, it is important to note that dried ripe bananas are also higher in sugar and calories than fresh bananas, so they should be consumed in moderation.
Banana powder, which is made by grinding dried bananas into a fine powder, is also a good source of nutrients and has several health benefits. It is easily digestible and rich in iron and calcium, which are essential for maintaining healthy bones and preventing anemia. Additionally, banana powder has been shown to boost immunity and aid in healthy weight gain. Bananas and their dried and powdered forms are a nutritious and healthy addition to a balanced diet.
Benefits
1) Heart health: It is an excellent source of potassium which helps control the heart’s electrical activity. It also helps lower cholesterol and aids nerve and muscle activity.
2) Diabetic-friendly: Since the young bananas are picked before they ripen, their sugar content never fully develops. Hence, they are lower in natural sugars.
3) Ideal for weight watchers: The resistant starch in green bananas slows the release of food through the gut. This slows the insulin response and prevents that sugar spike and consequent sugar crash. Thus, ensuring that we feel fuller for a longer period and avoid binging on unhealthy snacks in between meals.
4) Aids in digestion: The high prebiotic fibre content in banana flour helps support the good bacteria in the gut, bowel, and colon. This, in turn, promotes healthy digestion and bowel movement.
5) Inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria: RS II, (Resistant Starch subtype II) present in green banana flour, breaks down into short-chain fatty acids & raises the pH level of the large intestine which creates adverse conditions for pathogenic bacteria while favouring the growth of beneficial bacteria.
6) Increases absorption of minerals– especially calcium which can aid in preventing Osteoporosis.
7) Promotes colon health: Resistant starch increases faecal bulking which promotes colon health and also acts as a re-hydrating agent for those suffering from diarrhoea.
8) High in essential minerals and vitamins including zinc, vitamin E, magnesium, and manganese.
9) Gluten-Free: Ideal for those suffering from gluten intolerance especially since it behaves very similar to wheat flour and serves as an ideal replacement in wheat-containing recipes.
