BANANA CHIPS, SWEETENED

BANA-1, BANA-5

Description:

Bananas grow in warm and humid climates. They are one of our most popular fruit and one of the few fruit that develop better flavor when ripened off the bush! There are many banana species but the most favorite variety is the sweet and yellow Cavendish. Banana plants usually mature in 15 months and can produce up to a 50-pound bunch of bananas apiece. While growing, the banana ends point up the tree giving the illusion that they are growing upside down. Dried Banana Chips are easy and convenient to use in recipes for desserts, salads, sauces, trail mix, cereals, cakes, frozen desserts, puddings and more! Bananas are high in carbohydrates but low in protein and fats. They can be consumed, right out of the bag or as a snack mixed with nuts, grains and other dried fruit.
