7. Bananas can make you feel full for longer
Found in unripe bananas, resistant starch (a type of indigestible carb) acts like the soluble fiber in the body. The greener the banana, the high it scores when it comes to resistant starch content. However, it doesn’t go the same for ripe bananas. Ripe bananas contain lower amounts of this type of indigestible carb.
And yes, both unripe and ripe bananas can make you feel more full, but unripe ones do a better job. If you want to minimize your meals in size, eat one unripe banana after your meal. You will most likely increase the feeling of fullness while reducing appetite.
