Bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals and have quite a few health benefits to offer.
They are well known for being high in potassium. One medium banana provides 12% of the RDI for this mineral (67).
One unique property of bananas is their carb makeup.
The carbs in green, unripe bananas consist largely of resistant starch, which may improve blood sugar control and make you feel full (68).
Bananas also contain pectin, which may improve blood sugar control and digestive health (69, 70, 71).
Moreover, studies have shown that the high carb and mineral content of bananas makes them a great source of fuel before exercise
