Few fruits are as easy to enjoy as bananas – just hand-peel the skin off and chew! No seeds nor core to fuss over either. Rich in fibre, vitamin C & B6, minerals, and near-zero fat; bananas can help moderate your blood sugar levels, as well as improve your digestive system, heart and kidneys’ health. The easily digestible carbs also make it perfect as a workout snack, and may even help you lose weight. Besides that, the tender texture and pleasingly sweet flavour also make it versatile for many yummy pastries and desserts.
So, let’s go bananas with these delightful Asian goodies!
