Red bananas, primarily grown in Australia, West Indies, Mexico, and some parts of America, are also being cultivated in India, especially in Karnataka and nearby regions. They are now widely available in markets and are known to combat many health issues. Experts suggest they are particularly beneficial for diabetes patients.
Red bananas are rich in natural sugars like fructose, sucrose, and glucose, which provide sustained energy throughout the day. They also contain a high amount of Vitamin B6, which helps convert tryptophan into serotonin, a "feel-good" hormone that keeps you happy and relaxed.
Compared to regular yellow bananas, red bananas have a higher beta-carotene content, which helps in preventing blood clotting. They are also packed with essential nutrients like Vitamin A, B, C, carbohydrates, fiber, and several minerals. Although they taste similar to regular bananas, they have a unique berry-like aroma.
Eating red bananas daily can help relieve kidney-related problems and prevent kidney stones. They are also good for bone health and help purify the blood. The high iron content in red bananas increases hemoglobin levels, providing relief from anemia.
The potassium in red bananas is excellent for heart health and helps in managing blood pressure. It also improves overall heart health. Additionally, the potassium and magnesium content in red bananas can help in quitting smoking.
The high fiber content in red bananas provides relief from constipation and piles. It also helps in soothing stomach aches and heartburn. Drinking red banana juice is highly recommended if you have digestive issues or heartburn.
