Green BananasThere are two types of green bananas: bananas that remain green when ripe and unripe yellow bananas. The flesh of the former is soft and tasty eaten raw. The later is starchy and tastes best when cooked.
Types of bananas that remain green when ripe:These types of bananas do change color when they ripen. They just don't turn yellow. The change is subtle. Bungulan becomes a lighter shade of green when ripe, like the color of a Granny Smith apple.
Unripe yellow bananasIf you are growing bananas yourself, it is important to wait until they reach full size before using them as immature bananas can upset your stomach. This is not a concern with store bought fruit as they are not harvested until they mature.Apparently, mature green bananas can sooth an unsettled tummy. According to the June 30, 2009 issue of the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, cooked, unripe, mature banana fruit is antidiarrheal. People with inflammatory bowel diseases can benefit from adding it to their diets. There is a recipe for green banana fries on the
