Insider Secret
Choose a banana that's tinged with a little green for even more Resistant Starch. Once the fruit ripens, the starches in it turn to sugar, and the amount of Resistant Starch it contains drops. An underripe banana has 12.5 grams of RS (enough to take care of the minimum 10 grams of RS daily that's recommended in “The CarbLovers Diet”); a ripe one has 4.7 grams.
