Health Benefits of Consuming unripe plantain.


"According to Healthline", Plantains are the less sweet, starchier equivalent to the banana. Boiled plantains are nutritionally related to a potato, calorie-wise, but include more of certain vitamins and minerals. 

In this article, I will be talking about the benefits of consuming unripe plantain.

1. Digestive health;

Fiber is essential because it promotes bowel commonness. Fiber softens your stool and improves its overall size and weight.

Consuming high-fiber food may also lower your risk of hemorrhoids and little pouches in your colon known as diverticular disease. Fiber also increases fullness, slows digestion, and helps adjust cholesterol.

2. Weight management;

Studies reveal that Carbohydrates aren’t certainly a bad thing for weight managing like most people believe. Studies show that the fiber and starch found in plantains are complex carbs.

3. High in antioxidants;

According to studies, Plantains contain a good amount of your daily approved amount of vitamin C in a single cup. The vitamin works as an antioxidant that may help improve your immune system. It can also protect your body from free radical damage that’s related to aging, heart disease, and even some types of cancer.

Above are some of the health benefits of consuming unripe plantains.
