So many people are wondering about when is the best time to eat banana? Very interesting, the nutritional profile of banana changes as they ripen. The more ripe your banana is, the sweeter it tastes. This is because the enzymes in the fruit's tissues are progressively breaking down starch into simple sugars. Since the enzymes have already break that starch down, your body doesn't need to. Therefore, you will absorb the sugars into your blood stream which causes a spike in blood sugar in contrast, there are some benefit to eating the ripe banana.
有这么多的人在疑惑香蕉什么时候吃最好么？有趣的是，香蕉的营养价值会随着慢慢成熟而变化。香蕉越成熟，味道上就越甜。这是因为香蕉中的酶在香蕉成熟的过程中会逐渐的将淀粉转化为糖分。由于香蕉中的酶已经完成了这一转化过程，因此你的身体也就无需重复这个过程了。因此，当你吃下香蕉的时候身体就可以直接的把糖分吸收，随之你的血液中的糖分含量也会迎来一个高峰，这就是你吃成熟香蕉的好处。

According to Japanese researchers, the antioxidant and anti-cancer properties of the banana surge as it ripens. Full ripen banana with dark patches on yellow skin produces a substance called TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) which has the ability to combat abnormal cell. These means that the more darker patches it has, the higher immunity enhancement quality will be. Yellow skin banana with dark spots on it is 8 times more effective in enhancing the property of white blood cells than the green skin.Hence, the riper the banana the better the anti-cancer quality.
日本研究人员的结论显示，香蕉中的抗氧化和抗癌成分会随着香蕉的成熟而增加。那些完全成熟的，也就是在黄皮上有一些黑色小点的香蕉会产生一种称为TNF（肿瘤坏死因子）的成分，而这种因子能够对抗身体的畸变细胞。这就意味着香蕉皮中黑色的部分越多，其对免疫能力的增强就越多。黄皮的香蕉在增强身体白细胞的的能力上，是绿皮香蕉的8倍。因此，香蕉越成熟，抗癌能力就越强。

If you don’t want the fast hike in your blood sugar levels, you could consider eating the ripe banana with some nut butter (the fat slows the absorption of sugars into your blood stream) or simply eat the banana while it’s still greenish (level 3 or 4 in the pic)
如果你不想你血液中的糖分增加太快，你可以考虑在吃香蕉的时候来一点坚果黄油（油能减缓血液对于糖分的吸收），或者直接吃那些还是有点绿的香蕉吧（下图中3到4阶段）。
