Dehydrated Raw Banana Slices
Enjoy the traditional taste of raw banana—minus the prep—with our ready-to-use dehydrated cubes, perfect for modern kitchens.
Description
Some vegetables carry traditional flavours to our tables and raw banana is one of them. Popular in south India kitchens, it’s loved for mild flavours and versatility. Its subtle taste blends perfectly with spices, adding comfort to any meal.
But to keep it real - peeling, chopping and prepping this vegetable could be sticky and time taking - proving them tricky for busy mornings. And, a little prep ahead would make them decolour. That’s where we bring you our dehydrated raw banana cubes—a simple way to enjoy traditional flavours without much prep.
Ideal for curries, koftas or stir fry, these dehydrated raw bananas make cooking easier without compromising on nutrients. We believe good food should also include traditional flavours in ways convenient in modern lifestyle.
