Benefits of Plantain
Rich in resistant starch!
Resistant starch is an ingredient that regulates intestinal functions and prevents lifestyle-related diseases.
Foods rich in resistant starch, such as green plantains, help control blood sugar levels, reduce the risk of diabetes, and lower cholesterol levels.
In addition, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Rich in potassium!
Plantains contain high potassium levels.
Potassium is an essential mineral for muscles which helps to prevent muscle spasms caused by prolonged exercise.
In addition, it helps control blood pressure and plays an important role in salt excretion.
.
A high concentration of vitamin C and vitamin B!
Vitamin C is 15-20 mg per 100g, higher than common bananas. It is beneficial against colds, fatigue, and rough skin.
It is also rich in vitamin B1, which promotes enzyme secretion, vitamin B2, which forms mucous membranes, and niacin, which improves blood circulation.
