The peels are thick, smooth, and green with a fibrous texture and semi-bitter flavor, and the surface can easily be scratched and marked. Raw bananas are tender, fragrant, and have a starchy-tart flavour, as the sugars have not yet developed, and when cooked, they will be creamy and taste very similar to potatoes.

Raw Bananas contain potassium, vitamins A, C, and B6, fiber, and resistant starch, which is a form that passes through the body undigested and slowly, allowing the feeling of fullness to remain for a longer period of time.Raw Bananas are best suited for cooked applications such as baking, boiling, frying, steaming, stir-frying, and mashing.
