Nutritional Benefits of Organic Banana Powder

While fresh bananas are a household staple, Organic Green Banana Powder is emerging as a functional "super-ingredient" in the global health market. Unlike the sweet powder made from ripe fruit, green banana powder is milled from unripened bananas, preserving a unique nutritional profile that is low in sugar and high in fiber.

1. The Gut-Health Hero: Resistant Starch

The standout feature of green banana powder is its high concentration of Resistant Starch (RS2). Unlike typical carbs, RS2 acts as a prebiotic, bypassing the small intestine to feed beneficial gut bacteria. This supports a healthy microbiome, improves digestion, and reduces bloating.

2. Natural Weight & Blood Sugar Management

Because it is slowly digested, banana powder provides a sustained release of energy. It has a lower Glycemic Index (GI) than wheat flour or ripe bananas, helping to regulate insulin response and promoting a feeling of fullness that aids in weight management.

3. Essential Minerals: Potassium and Magnesium

IndiRoot's banana powder retains the essential electrolytes found in fresh fruit. Potassium is vital for heart health and muscle function, making this powder an excellent additive for post-workout recovery blends.

4. Versatile Applications in Food Industry

For manufacturers and home bakers, banana powder is a game-changer. It is naturally gluten-free and has a neutral, slightly nutty flavor. It can be used as a thickener for sauces, an enrichment for infant foods, or a 1:1 flour replacement in many gluten-free recipes.
