Diabetes: The juice, extracted out of the stem is excellent for diabetics especially when consumed without straining. It does not contain any sugar and thus, does not raise the blood sugar levels. It also has a low glycaemic index which is an important factor for a diabetic person.

Hyperacidity: This vital part of banana provides relief from heartburn and hyperacidity by regulating the levels of acid in your body. It is best to have it on an empty stomach.

Constipation: The banana stem is high in fibre and acts as a laxative to ease constipation. For maximum fibre intake, have the banana stem juice without straining it.

Anaemia: It increases the haemoglobin content in your body as it is rich in iron and vitamin B6. These properties make it an important part of the diet for anaemic persons.

How to make banana stem juice

  • Clean the banana stem properly and then cut it into pieces. Otherwise, you can also get it in bulk and soak it in buttermilk.
  • Store it in the refrigerator.
  • The buttermilk should be changed after two to three days before it turns sour.
  • To prepare the juice, add the banana stem, roasted cumin, yoghurt, pepper and salt into the blender.
  • Make a smooth paste.
  • Consume it thick or just add some water.

You can also consume it as a smoothie. Blend one apple, 1 cup soaked banana stem and 1 cup water. Strain the juice and add ice cubes to it.
