Production & Sourcing
Drum-Dried Organic Banana Powder is crafted through a meticulous process that begins with selecting ripe organic bananas. The bananas are peeled, sliced, and then pureed to form a smooth banana mash. This mash is carefully drum-dried, a dehydration technique where the puree is spread thinly over rotating drums. After drying, the powder is finely milled to achieve the desired texture.
