Can apples and bananas be steamed?
Apples can be steamed and bananas can only be baked.

1, banana:

Be careful when baking bananas and turn them back and forth regularly. At this time, the skin will turn black, but there are still shapes inside. But if it is overcooked or accidentally turned over, it will be baked into a thin paste, which is not delicious.

There are many beneficial nutrients in banana peel, such as oligosaccharides. The advantage of baking banana is that by baking banana peel, more nutrients in the peel can enter the pulp, so eating pulp containing a lot of oligosaccharides can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine, enhance defecation ability and have a cosmetic effect.

2. Apple:

The pectin contained in it has a good detoxification effect and can be used with dietary fiber to clean the intestines. Pectin will become more stable after heating, and it also has the function of "absorbing intestinal bacteria and toxins". It is found that the content of polyphenols natural antioxidants in apples will increase greatly after heating.

Polyphenols can not only reduce blood sugar, blood lipid, inhibit free radicals, resist oxidation, inflammation and sterilization, but also inhibit the increase of plasma cholesterol and eliminate free radicals in the body.

Other fruits suitable for heating:

1. grapefruit: it is not the pulp but the peel that needs to be cooked. Pomelo peel contains flavonoids such as naringin and rutin, which has antioxidant effect, can reduce blood viscosity, lose weight and resist aging. When it enters the body after heating, it will be more active and exert its greatest effect.

2. Small tomato: After the small tomato is heated, the content of lycopene will increase rapidly, thus improving the nutritional value of tomato and enhancing its overall antioxidant capacity. The contents of lycopene and antioxidant can be increased by 54% and 28% respectively as long as they are heated for two minutes (boiling in water or microwave).
