4 Amazing health benefits of plantain

Here are amazing health benefits of plantain:

1. Digestion

With 4 grams of fiber per plantain, these starchy fruits are great for bowel regularity. Regular fiber slows down digestion, keeping you fuller for longer, and helps you manage cholesterol levels.

2. Vitamins and Minerals

Plantains are much like potatoes in terms of protein and fat value, but they are packed with valuable nutrients. Plantains are good sources of vitamin A and C, as well as vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium.

3. Nutrient Density

One medium plantain contains more than 200 calories, which makes it a very important staple food in regions where nutrient-dense foods are critical to survival.

4. Antioxidants

Plantains are full of vitamin C, one of the most effective antioxidants available. One cup of plantains contains over 30% of your daily recommended vitamin C, which not only supports a healthy immune system but protects your body from free radical damage by preventing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.
