But in addition to liquid, the body also needs a lot of nutrients and minerals. A lifesaver in this banana problem.
Banana is a food source for millions of people in tropical countries. You should know that bananas ripening on a tree do not gain the necessary taste and aroma, but lose them. The peel of the fruit cracks and the pulp is easily affected by diseases. Therefore, the fruits are removed immature. Purchased bananas should be stored in a cool - 10-12 ° C place, but not in the refrigerator. Greenish fruits are stored at higher temperatures. Bunches of fruit are hung up, not kept in plastic bags.

The pulp of the fruit contains up to 80% water, fiber, pectin substances that improve digestion, starch (7-20%), which, when ripe, turns into sugar, proteins - up to 1.3%, carbohydrates - up to 25% (mainly sucrose ), malic acid, tannins and aromatic substances, enzymes, vitamins C, B1, B2, B6, PP, provitamin A, catecholamines.
