Best Answer

Depending on the size of a banana, it can contain more sugar than a mars bar. However, it is important to note that it is a different form of sugar that breaks down more slowly in your body, therefore not producing a spike in your blood glucose levels like the sugar in a chocolate bar. Sweets and chocolate contain processed sugar- fruits contain naturally occurring sugars.

Yes. The starches break down into sugars as the banana ages. The total carbs stay the same, however.

Are browned bananas better than ripe bananas?

Yes. They are a lot better, trust me. When you let the bananas get almost fully browned, it almost doubles the nutrition value in bananas. Ripe bananas, even though they look better than browned bananas, are so unhealthy for you. The amount of sugar that is in a ripe banana is 2 grams, and the amount of sugar that is in a browned banana is less than 1 gram. So, in conclusion, browned bananas are a whole lot better for you than ripe bananas are.
