Green banana flour
Green banana flour is a low-histamine, minimally processed flour made from unripe bananas before histamine-relevant compounds develop.
Green banana flour is made by drying and milling unripe bananas, which are quite different from ripe bananas in terms of histamine-related concerns.
-
Ripeness is key — ripe and overripe bananas are sometimes flagged as histamine liberators, but unripe green bananas don't appear to share this property, which is reflected in the flour
-
Minimally processed — because it's simply dried and ground without fermentation, there's no process that would cause histamine to build up
It tends to be a well-tolerated alternative flour for people navigating histamine sensitivity.
