Bananas are not unfamiliar to everyone, even in our Great Northwest, from childhood I can eat sweet and delicious bananas, from childhood to high school graduation, I think there are only bananas, until once I went to Guangxi, saw a small banana on the street, I learned that there is a fruit called "banana".
To be honest, bananas and plantains are like a pair of twin brothers, always make people unclear, from the color appearance, it seems to be similar, perhaps many small partners until now can not distinguish what is the difference between 2. Today we will take a look at the difference between the two of them, if you buy the wrong, the taste is very different.
Bananas and plantains belong to the plantain family, are tropical plants, bananas originate in Southeast Asia, bananas originate in Japan's Ryukyu Islands, the difference between the two is mainly from the following four points.
First, distinguish from the appearance
Banana shape is more slender, similar to the curved moon, when it is not ripe, the outer skin is blue-green, after full ripening the outer skin will become bright golden, the skin has roughly 5-6 ridges, the flesh is white.
The shape of the octagon is relatively short, the middle is thick and thin, the peel is gray-yellow, not as bright as a banana, the outer skin of the edge is only 3, and the flesh color is milky white.
Second, the difference in taste
The fruit aroma of bananas is relatively strong, you can smell it from a distance, the taste is softer and stickier, and the ripe bananas are sweeter to eat. The fruity aroma of the plantain is relatively light, the taste is sweet and sour, and even some have an astringent taste, which is relatively dense to eat.
Third, the nutritional value is different
Bananas and plantains are basically similar in nutritional composition, but there is also a slight difference, bananas contain 91 calories per 100 grams, low sodium content, and do not contain cholesterol, so people who lose weight and lose weight usually eat bananas to supplement energy. In addition, the potassium content in bananas is also high, which is conducive to lowering blood pressure.
Plantains contain more trace elements than bananas, especially dietary fiber is more abundant, and plantain pulp methanol extract has an inhibitory effect on bacteria and fungi. It is helpful for respiratory diseases, but plantains contain more sugar than bananas, so it is not suitable for people who lose weight.
Fourth, the price difference
As the saying goes, "things are scarce and expensive", the yield of plantains is not as large as bananas, so it is more expensive in price, bananas are basically 2 yuan a pound, while plantains need about 6 yuan.
