Bananas are one of the favorite fruits for many. They eat breakfast, take it to the road, put on children's lunch boxes and add desserts.
It seems that the thick crust protects the fruit from everything. However, according to Rospotrebnadzor specialists, it is not the case. Bananas should be washed before eating as thoroughly as the apple or pear.
Why wash your fruits before eating?
The press service of the department explained that the peel is not an absolute obstacle. Fruits go a long way from planting to stores, are developed for transportation, and conditions do not always meet security requirements.
Pesticides, chemicals and bacteria can be left on the surface. Among them is E. Coli, which can cause simple unsatisfactory digestion to serious infections.
Cleaning the non-washed banana with dirty hands is worse. In this case, all the micropaths of the peel easily fall on the edible part. This increases the risk of food poisoning, especially in people with children and a weak immune system.
Before cleaning, keep bananas under running water. Gently rubbing the bark with your hands or soft brushes, especially in areas where there are dark spots. Dry fruit with a paper towel or just let the water be squeezed, and only then peel and eat.
What useful features does bananas have for health?
Banana itself is a real treasure of materials. It contains:
Fiber that improves digestion.
Potassium and magnesium that are important for the heart and blood vessels.
Vitamins of A, B6 and C, which support immunity.
Manga and antioxidants that slow down the aging of cells.
Interestingly, the banana contains such materials such as serotonin structure. That is why the fruit is often called "Natural Anti-Depructant". It can improve the mood and reduce the level of stress.
