Spotted bananas, on the other hand, contain significantly more simple sugars. As they ripen, the starch converts into glucose and fructose, making the fruit sweeter and easier to digest. The downside is that these sugars can cause blood sugar levels to spike more quickly. Therefore, people with diabetes or those on a low-sugar diet should consume them in moderation and in small quantities.

Antioxidant properties

One of the most interesting advantages of speckled bananas is their higher antioxidant content. These brown spots are indeed a sign of an increased concentration of beneficial substances, which:

reduce inflammation

support cellular defense

may reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular problems

Slightly ripe bananas are also beneficial, but contain lower levels of these protective compounds.

Digestive benefits

Slightly ripe bananas contain a higher amount of resistant starch, which acts similarly to fiber.
