What bananas should you eat to benefit from them: expert advice

Some people like very ripe bananas, while others prefer green ones. And the benefits of these fruits are completely different. Therefore, in order for the product to be safe for the body, you need to find out which bananas you can eat and which ones are better to avoid.

Media nutritionist Myroslava Ulyanina talks about the properties and choice of this fruit on her Facebook page.
