THE banana may have come from Southeast Asia, but it is Brazilian even in color, at any stage of ripening. When it is green, by the way, it presents / displays great concentration of leucocianidina, flavonoide studied by his cicatrizantes properties.
Of the three varieties compared here, there is nothing to be desired in the dose of potassium, with slight advantage for silver. Good demand for sportsmen, who need to protect themselves from cramps.
"The trio is also a source of a wildcard mineral, magnesium," says Nicole Trevisan, a nutritionist from São Paulo. "It works on different functions in the body, including heart rate and muscle relaxation," he explains.
In terms of flavor, the banana-gold is sweeter and conquers the taste buds of children. Just do not be fooled by the size: although small, it does not skimp on calories.
Meanwhile the banana-da-terra is much appreciated roasted or grilled. A highly prized ingredient in vegetarian recipes.
