Not All Bananas Are Equal (Ripeness Matters!)
Here’s something many people overlook:
The ripeness of a banana changes how it affects your body.
- Just ripe (yellow with few spots)
→ Best balance of nutrients and moderate sugar - Overripe (very soft with brown spots)
→ Higher sugar content
→ Can raise blood sugar more quickly
If you have prediabetes or insulin resistance, this becomes especially important.
So, aim for bananas that are ripe but not overly soft.
