The main ingredient of the recipe is, as the name suggests, bananas. They are full of water and carbohydrates that give our body energy.

An excellent feature of bananas is their low fat content.

Among minerals, they also contain potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese copper, selenium, sodium, fibre, zinc and iron.

Vitamins are dominated by A, B2, B6, B9 and C, as well as E and K.

One of the interesting features of bananas is that they are harvested while still green and then left to ripen at a stable temperature. Another interesting feature of ripening is that there are several stages of ripeness. Within these stages, the sugar and starch content is also differentiated.

Bananas are a great help in the fight against stroke. The unripe ones help in the fight against cancer.

They are also among the basic helpers in grandmotherly recipes against diarrhoea or constipation, because they improve our digestion and soothe it when irritated.

The potassium they contain helps heart health and good blood pressure.

They are also popular with athletes, who find them helpful in relieving muscle cramps, pain and recovery.

Consumption of bananas is also recommended for students for whom they calm the nerves, regulate stress and even act as a natural antidepressant.

Banana peels can also be used for skin problems, after insect bites or to remove warts.
