Unripe Bananas
Though ripe bananas could help reduce the risk of constipation, unripe bananas can bring the opposite effect. This is because unripe units have more resistant starch, which can be more difficult for your digestive tract to digest and absorb. When the fruits are ripened, resistant starch will gradually become natural sugars, which can be simpler to digest. Just like persimmon, unripe bananas also have a higher amount of tannins, thus reducing the speed of your bowel movements. Thus, make sure to consume those bananas that have brown spotting and totally yellow. Also, they should be peeled easily. [2]
