Banana Saba (2kg per hand)

Why do we use this product?

• This fatter and stubbier banana is of the ‘cooking’ sort, with a firmer, generally less sweet character compared to other dessert bananas. Subjecting it to heat gets it satisfyingly starchy, not unlike a chewier potato—although depending on the stage of ripeness pre-cooking, it can be sweet and tangy as well, especially toward the center. But Saba can also be taken raw when very ripe—it has a sweet, tangy, aromatic flavor and moist, sticky interior while retaining its meaty, leathery chewiness on the outside.
• 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.
