Dried Banana: a short introduction

Bananas originated in Southeast Asia, and are noted in early Greek, Latin, and Arabic texts, After America was discovered, bananas were taken to the New World by missionaries to the Caribbean, with mass production starting in 1834. By the late 1880s, mass production had exploded, with cultivation increasing until bananas became a staple foodstuff in many regions.

Cavendish bananas are the most-common imported variety by non-tropical countries. Plantain varieties account for about 85 percent of all banana cultivation worldwide. Today, fair trade and organic banana production continues to increase.

75 percent of a fresh banana’s weight is water. Dried bananas are about four times higher in fiber, potassium, carbohydrates, sugar and calories than the fresh variety.
