Bananes

Bananes contains 3g of fiber per 100g (11% DV). Fiber feeds beneficial gut bacteria, which produce short-chain fatty acids (butyrate) that reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut barrier, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Yes. At only 93 calories per 100g with 3g of fiber, Bananes is filling and nutrient-dense — ideal for weight loss. The fiber slows digestion and increases satiety hormones (GLP-1, PYY), helping you eat less at subsequent meals.

Phytates (reduce zinc, iron, calcium absorption 20-60%). Lectins (can irritate gut lining — destroyed by proper cooking). Soaking 12-24h reduces phytates 30-50%. Cooking destroys lectins and protease inhibitors. Fermentation (tempeh, miso) reduces all anti-nutrients. Sprouting increases nutrient bioavailability. Benefits (fiber, protein, minerals) far outweigh anti-nutrient concerns for most people.
