Notes

  • Raw banana flour is low in sugar and contains high resistant starch, which makes it ideal for diabetics too since the starch present in this flour improves insulin sensitivity.
  • Rich in fibre and the resistant starch, this flour gives us a feeling of fullness and satisfaction, reducing frequent hunger pangs and in the long run helps weight loss.
Tip:
  • Add 1 tbsp to the roti flour/chilla flour/dosa idly batter and use it for baking. Add it to thicken soups, gravies and reap the nutritional benefits of calcium, potassium, Vitamin B6, C, zinc, dietary fibres and potassium present in it.
