Introduction: What is the difference between "banana" and "banana"? Nutrition varies greatly, so don't make the mistake
Once I made a joke about bananas and plantains. At that time, because I went to the south for business, I saw that the local bananas were very famous, and I thought of buying some to go back to my family to eat, so I asked the boss how to sell bananas, but the boss said that it was not bananas, but bananas. I thought to myself, this is obviously a banana, isn't a banana the same as a banana? At that time, the boss laughed at me for not understanding, saying that basho is plantain, banana is banana, two different fruits.
Later, the boss also gave me the role of bananas and plantains and some differences, and later I was able to easily distinguish what is a banana and what is a banana. I believe that many small partners also feel that the two are the same, the following I will share with you the difference between the two, let's not get confused!
Bananas are very common every day, and the general fruit shop sells bananas, and there are very few bananas, because plantains are rarely bought. Although the two shapes are very similar, there are still differences, so let's start from the three aspects of seeing, smelling and tasting.
First of all, from the beginning of the look, the shape of the banana is very slender, very similar to the curved moon, when the banana is not ripe, it is blue-green, and when it is ripe, it will become yellow, and when it is opened, the flesh inside is yellow-white, round in shape.
Plantain is very thick in the middle, but the head and tail are very thin, its peel is gray-yellow, break it open, the flesh is milky white, because the middle is thick, so it is flat and round.
The second is smell. The taste of bananas is very rich, very fragrant and sweet, but the taste of bananas is sour and astringent, which can be distinguished very quickly when smelled. Finally, the taste is the taste, the taste of bananas is very soft and delicious, and the bananas are more dense. Of course, the price can also be seen, the price of bananas is generally cheaper than plantains, after all, it is very common, and plantains are not very common, but also relatively niche.
After talking about the difference between the two in appearance, let's talk about the nutritional value of the two. In fact, their nutritional value is similar, but they also have their own advantages. Bananas have laxative and moisturizing effects, but also whitening antioxidant function, suitable for people with high blood pressure to eat, because it also contains potassium ions, can reduce blood pressure, many weight loss people also like to eat bananas, because can achieve the role of slimming, of course, the biggest role is that bananas are rich in nutrients, moisturizing the lungs and cough.
Plantains also contain potassium, magnesium, sodium, and are higher than bananas contain trace elements, so eating it can also prevent blood pressure from rising. At the same time, the plantain also contains a large amount of dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis digestion and has a laxative effect. Bananas are more sugar than bananas, but also contain a lot of carbohydrates, generally not recommended for weight loss people to eat, because the sugar is high, high carbs, which are not used to lose weight. But plantains have an inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi, but also have a good effect on the respiratory system, especially in the current spring and summer seasons, many people will be on fire, cold or cough, so this season can eat more plantains to improve.
The above is what I share with you about how to distinguish between bananas and plantains, their nutritional differences are also very large, do not make a mistake, especially fitness and weight loss of small partners, must see clearly, and remember to share with the small partners around them, so that they can also understand the difference between the two!
