Biologically, the stringy part of a banana is called the "phloem bundle," which is responsible for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients to bananas.
What is the stringy part of a banana called?
When bananas are immature, phloem bundles cling to the pulp. However, once the banana is ripe, phloem bundles are separated from the pulp.
Although phloem bundles have a bland taste, phloem bundles are completely edible without any side effects.
Like banana pulp, phloem bundles are nutritious and rich in potassium, magnesium, dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin B6, and more.
In fact, phloem bundles are much higher in dietary fiber than pulp.
Eating some phloem bundles along with bananas is very beneficial for digestive health.
