The secret behind the "golden thread"
American researcher Nicholas D. Gillitt will help you clarify this question.
According to him, although these fibers may make you uncomfortable, they are very important. To put it more seriously, you cannot eat bananas without them.
In fact, these golden fibers are phloem fibers. Phloem is one of two types of tissue that is responsible for transporting liquid and nutrients in the tree trunk.
In the tree trunk, they have the function of transmitting synthetic organic substances from the leaves to other parts.
With bananas, the phloem fibers are responsible for providing nutrients to the fruit. Thanks to the phloem, the bananas you eat are delicious.
Nicholas D. Gillitt, associate director of nutrition research and director of the Dole Nutrition Institute, explained to the Huffington Post: "The phloem fibers in bananas are critical, absolutely essential, in the full distribution of nutrients throughout the plant."
According to Dr. Gillitt's research team, the phloem bundles are completely edible and just as nutritious as the main part of the fruit.
In fact, these phloem fibers sometimes contain more fiber than the rest of the fruit.
So, from now on, stop being so cranky trying to pick them off every time you encounter these yellow strings in each banana!
