banannas

[mass rookie]

Is there a difference in nutrition when a bananna is ripe yellow and when it turns sweet brown ? if so which way is better to eat ?

The starches in the banana have turned to sugar, but they should have the same amount of carbs. Bananas are fairly high on the glycemic index--high in simple sugars.

bananna sugar is fructose
thats a simple sugar but is low on the GI scale

some differnt GI ratings

But i wouldnt use them as my only source of carbs. not even close ide rather oats b.c of extra fiber and good fats.
