Banana and its benefits

Banana can not only be consumed as a fruit, it can be used in cooking too. Be it raw bananas or an overripe one, this versatile fruit can be used in so many forms. A wide variety of benefits are associated with this versatile curvy yellow fruit. This potassium-rich fruit can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. Here, I am showcasing recipes using both raw bananas and overripe bananas.

Bananas are the most popular fruit all over the world. This delicious fruit has several health benefits associated with it. They help improve digestive health. They are rich in vitamins, fiber, and manganese. Banana is also considered to boost your energy levels. Raw banana or plantain helps with blood sugar control and is also a rich source of iron.
