Ripe bananas have no astringent taste, are soft and sweet, and are loved by children and children. elderly love. Bananas are tropical and subtropical fruits. In order to facilitate storage and transportation, when picking bananas, you cannot wait for them to ripen. Instead, they must be picked and stored when the skin is green. The bananas we eat in the north are all ripe after being accelerated. The astringent taste of raw bananas comes from the large amount of tannic acid contained in bananas. When bananas are ripe, although they no longer taste astringent, the tannic acid component is still present. Tannic acid has a very strong astringent effect and can form dry and hard stools, causing constipation. The most typical thing is that after the elderly and children eat bananas, instead of helping to defecate, they may suffer from obvious constipation.

　　We say that bananas can be eaten as food, but they cannot be eaten in large quantities on an empty stomach.
