Frequently Asked Questions
Are bananas good for weight loss?
Yes. Despite being higher in carbs than berries, they are very filling due to their fiber content (2.6g). A medium banana is a perfect <100kcal snack.
Do green bananas have less sugar?
Yes. Unripe (green) bananas contain resistant starch, which your body can't digest as easily, acting more like fiber than sugar.
