“完美香蕉”应该几分熟？
香蕉到底几分熟最好吃呢？近日，Ins网友就这个问题展开了一场辩论。有人晒出一张将15根香蕉按成熟度依次编号排列的照片，让大家选出心目中的“完美香蕉”。结果大部分人都表示最爱10号香蕉，但也有人选择不同，你认为“完美香蕉”应该是几号？
Do you prefer your bananas still slightly green, brown and squishy, or in between?
You might think there's only one right answer, but now an online debate about the perfect level of banana ripeness proves there are a lot of different opinions about the best time to eat the yellow tropical fruit.
你可能以为只有一个标准答案，但是一场关于完美香蕉成熟度的网络辩论证明，人们对香蕉的最佳食用时间存在很大争议。
A new snap that has gone viral on Instagram shared by the account fitness meals, which has 2.3 million followers, shows a bunch of bananas all at different levels of ripeness.
They are all labeled from numbers one through 15, with one being the most under-ripe, to 15 being the most over-ripe.
The image, which has more than 4,700 likes, asks you to pick your 'perfect' banana from the bunch - and fruit fans have wildly different stances on which number they would grab to go.
The majority of banana fans said they would pick numbers 8 through 10 from the bunch. These fruit had no green underripe parts, with number 10 having a few brown speckles on the skin also.
Some opted for a more under-ripe 6 or 7 banana, while some said they would pick a very brown and speckled 11.
However a few said they liked a number 2 banana, aka one that is very under-ripe and is greenish-yellow in color.
然而，少数人称，他们喜欢2号那种颜色发绿、完全没熟的香蕉。
Harley Street nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert reveals that bananas are an excellent source of potassium and other nutrients no matter how ripe they are.
However she says that if you are diabetic or have trouble digesting the fruit, it may be beneficial to eat a banana at a specific level of ripeness.
She said: 'Bananas are a fruit that may be limited in a diet prescribed to those who suffer with diabetes due to the high content of free sugars, however, that is at the discretion of the health professional.
'Research suggests that in under-ripe bananas, starch constitutes 80-90 percent of the carbohydrate content, which, as the banana ripens, changes into free sugars. Therefore, people who suffer with diabetes are advised to eat bananas that are not overly ripe as not to spike their blood sugar too much.'
However she says for the average person, a more ripe banana may be easier to digest.
Rhiannon explained: 'When the resistant starch changes to simple sugar, a banana ripens, and studies have suggested that more ripe (yellow) bananas are easier to digest for the average person.
'The higher glycemic index of ripe bananas shows that they are digested more quickly. Think of a tennis player snacking on a banana for a burst of energy.

你喜欢吃略带绿色的香蕉、褐色黏软的香蕉，还是介于两者之间的呢？

拥有230万粉丝的Ins账号“健身餐”分享的一张照片在该平台走红，照片中是一大堆成熟程度不同的香蕉。
它们被标记上1-15之间的数字，其中1代表最生涩，15代表过度成熟。
这张获得4700个点赞的照片让你从15根香蕉中选出心目中的“完美”香蕉，而水果迷们的选择有很大不同。
大多数香蕉爱好者称，他们会挑选8-10号，这几根香蕉没有绿色未熟部分，而10号香蕉外皮上有些许褐色斑点。
有些人选择了不太熟的6号或7号香蕉，还有人称，他们会挑选布满深褐色斑点的11号香蕉。
然而，少数人称，他们喜欢2号那种颜色发绿、完全没熟的香蕉。
哈利街营养学家里安诺?兰伯特指出，无论香蕉的成熟度如何，它都富含钾元素以及其他营养物质。
然而，里安诺称，如果你是糖尿病患者，或者难以消化香蕉，那么食用特定成熟度的香蕉可能有益健康。
她说：“对于因高血糖引发糖尿病的人来说，医嘱中可能会限制他们食用香蕉，不过，这是由医生酌情决定的。”
“研究表明，未成熟的香蕉中淀粉占碳水化合物含量的80%-90%，随着香蕉的成熟，淀粉变成游离糖。因此，建议糖尿病患者食用没熟透的香蕉，以免导致血糖过高。”
然而，里安诺说，对于普通人来说，比较成熟的香蕉可能更容易消化。
她解释道：“当抗性淀粉变成单糖时，香蕉就成熟了，研究表明，成熟的（黄色）香蕉对普通人来说更容易消化。
