Banana Lacatan (1.75kg per hand)

Why do we use this product?

• Lacatan has a bright, highly saturated yellow hue.  Its flesh, too, takes on a distinct yellow-to-orange color, and carries a balanced taste that has just the right amounts of sweet, slightly tangy, and custardy. Texture-wise it is moist but provides a substantial bite—one that is more moist and denser than Cavendish yet less chewy than Saba, and yields a creaminess when bitten. If you’re into freezing bananas for smoothies or nice cream, these make for an especially sludgy, dense texture when blended.
• Bananas are extremely healthy and delicious. They contain several essential nutrients and provide benefits for digestion, heart health and weight loss. Aside from being very nutritious, they are also a highly convenient snack food.
• Bananas are rich in fiber, antioxidants and several nutrients. A medium-sized banana has about 105 calories.
• Bananas can help moderate blood sugar levels after meals and may reduce appetite by slowing stomach emptying.
• Bananas are fairly rich in fiber and resistant starch, which may feed your friendly gut bacteria.
• Bananas may aid weight loss because they’re low in calories and high in nutrients and fiber.
• Bananas are a good dietary source of potassium and magnesium — two nutrients that are essential for heart health.
• Bananas are high in several antioxidants, which may help reduce damage from free radicals and lower your risk of some diseases.
• Depending on ripeness, bananas harbor high amounts of resistant starch or pectin. Both may reduce appetite and help keep you full.
• Eating a banana several times a week may reduce your risk of kidney disease by up to 50%.
