When emperor bananas are immature, the outer skin is green. , peel off the outer skin, it is too astringent to swallow. The ripe emperor banana has no astringent taste and is soft, glutinous and sweet. It is deeply loved by children and the elderly. Emperor bananas are tropical and subtropical fruits. In order to facilitate storage and transportation, when picking emperor bananas, you cannot wait for them to ripen. Instead, they must be picked and stored when their skins are green. The emperor bananas we eat in the north are all ripe after being accelerated.
The astringent taste of raw emperor banana comes from the large amount of tannic acid contained in the emperor banana. When the emperor banana is ripe, although the astringency is no longer tasted, the tannic acid component is still present. Tannic acid has a very strong astringent effect and can form dry and hard stools, causing constipation. The most typical thing is that after eating emperor bananas, the elderly and children not only cannot help defecation, but may develop obvious constipation.
(2) Excessive consumption of emperor bananas can cause an imbalance in the proportion of trace elements
Emperor bananas are fragrant and delicious fruits, so some people eat a large amount of emperor bananas at one time. As everyone knows, this is very detrimental to your health. Emperor bananas contain a lot of magnesium, potassium and other elements. Although these mineral elements are necessary for human health, if too much is taken in a short period of time,
it will cause magnesium levels in the blood. , potassium content increases sharply, causing an imbalance in the proportions of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and other elements in the body, causing harm to health. In addition, eating more emperor bananas can also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and excessive mood swings due to a greatly reduced gastric acid secretion.

Emperor bananas are picked when they are six to seven years old. Because they mature very quickly, if they are picked when they are ripe, the taste will be bad. No, it doesn't look fresh.
