Banana Seed – Uses

Bananas are a popular fruit, but did you know that banana seeds exist? Though you don’t typically find banana seeds in the store (as most bananas are seedless), there is still much to learn about them. In this article, we’ll discuss what banana seeds are and how they can be used.

What Are They?

Banana seeds found in rare varieties of bananas, such as the Cavendish and Blue Java varieties. They are small black or brown specks found within the fleshy pulp of the banana. Banana seeds contain genetic material and act as a way for the plant to reproduce. This means that if you were to plant a banana seed, it would eventually grow into a banana tree!

Uses of Banana Seed

You can eat banana seeds—but not in their raw form. Raw banana seeds have an unpleasant bitter taste as well must cooked or dried before consumption. Once cooked, they become much more palatable and can be added to breads, smoothies, oatmeal, or granola bars for added flavor and nutrition. Additionally, due to their high protein content (up to 25% by weight), some people add them to vegan dishes as an alternative source of protein.

Banana seeds also have many potential health benefits including improved digestion and reduced inflammation. Studies show that when consumed regularly, they may help improve gut health by increasing beneficial bacteria levels that support healthy digestion. Additionally, research suggests that consuming banana seed extracts may reduce inflammation associated with certain chronic conditions like arthritis and asthma.
