香蕉是什么 · 品种与生熟差别

Banana is one of the world's highest-volume fruits, but 'a banana' varies more than people think — it depends on the variety and on how ripe it is.

The most common type is the Cavendish-style sweet banana, what we eat as fruit. The other big group is plantain — high in starch, low in sugar, cooked and eaten as a staple.

Banana's most distinctive trait is that it keeps ripening after being picked. A green, firm, barely-sweet banana and a spotted, soft, very-sweet one have already shifted their nutrition — mainly starch and sugar trading places. The green-vs-ripe scene unpacks this. So before talking 'banana nutrition', ask two things: which banana, and how ripe.
