Green Banana Flour Benefits

There are so many green banana flour benefits that we at The Anthill Kitchen are excited to share with you!

Green banana flour is a prebiotic fibre used in gluten-free cooking. It is the highest natural resistant starch. Resistant starch is important as it resists digestion all the way through your body until the gut. Here it feeds the good bacteria in your gut.

Resistant starch has powerful health benefits

“This includes improved insulin sensitivity, lower blood sugar levels, reduces appetite and various benefits for digestion.” https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/resistant-starch-101

If the banana is yellow, sugar has developed and resistant starch turns into regular starch. This is why we, at The Anthill Kitchen, use green bananas to ensure the highest level of nutrients and health benefits.

Prebiotics feed the good bacteria in your gut

“Prebiotics are special plant fibres that help healthy bacteria grow in your gut. This makes your digestive system work better”, https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/prebiotics-overview . Experts recommend that you start with 5 grams of prebiotics per day. Start with small amounts so that your good bacteria get used to them. Prebiotics need to be introduced slowly into your diet to ensure that no bloating occurs. Once your body is used to prebiotics you can increase to up to 30g of green banana flour per day.
