Beer and Banana Pasta

Before you ask, NO, I did NOT attempt to put all three of those in a bowl and call it dinner. However, both unripe banana flour and barley may be added to pasta to make it healthier. In addition to packing plenty of antioxidants and fiber, unripe banana flour has a low glycemic index owing to the fact that it contains resistant starch. This helps to manage weight, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes (foods with a low glycemic index are the tortoises of glucose release). Pasta made with barley ("a grain famous for giving beer its characteristic strength and flavor"), on the other hand, is also an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants.
