Eating Apple with Banana: Is it SAFE or Not?

Short Answer: It is generally safe to eat apple and banana together or one after another. Because there is no scientific proof that they can cause any harm to your health.

Apple and banana are both healthy fruits.

Apple contains vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, while banana has potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and folate.

According to Ayurveda, apple and banana should not be eaten together or one after another. Because they have different digestion times and can cause indigestion, fermentation, gas, and bloating.

But according to science, there is no evidence that eating apple and banana together can harm your health. In fact, some studies suggest that combining fruits with different nutrient profiles can enhance their health benefits.

As a nutritionist, my advice is to try first.

If after eating apple and banana together you experience any discomfort or digestive issues, then stop combining them. And if you can tolerate them, then continue.

However, you should be mindful of the quality and quantity of apple and banana you consume. Because eating too much of any fruit can increase your sugar intake and calorie consumption.

Whether you eat them together or not, you should always choose fresh, ripe, and organic apple and banana. Because they have more nutrients, flavor, and fewer pesticides than unripe or conventional ones.

You can store apple and banana at room temperature for a few days, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life. Do not store them in plastic bags or containers, as they can trap ethylene gas and speed up the ripening process.

Finally, remember, apple and banana are nutritious snacks that can boost your energy and satisfy your sweet tooth.

But moderation and variety are the key to a balanced diet. So enjoy them with other fruits and foods that suit your taste and health.
