Green, yellow, or brown spotted bananas: Which banana stage is healthiest for your gut and blood sugar

Bananas offer diverse health benefits depending on ripeness. Green varieties boost gut health with resistant starch, while slightly green ones provide a balanced mix of fibre and potassium. Fully yellow bananas offer quick energy and antioxidants, and brown-spotted ones are sweetest but highest in sugar. Experts favour slightly green bananas for optimal digestive and metabolic balance.
