Banana puree

Banana puree is a smooth and thick mixture made from mashed bananas. Bananas are fruits that grow on plants and are known for their sweet taste and creamy texture. The puree is used as an ingredient in various food products to add flavour, sweetness, and moisture.

To make banana puree, ripe bananas are peeled, mashed, and blended until they form a smooth and consistent texture. No additional ingredients are usually added, keeping the puree pure and simple. This process helps retain the natural sweetness and aroma of fresh bananas, making it a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking.

You might find banana puree listed on food labels in products like baby food, smoothies, desserts, and baked goods. It is used to enhance the taste, add natural sweetness, and create a smooth texture in these foods. Banana puree can also extend the shelf life of some products by adding moisture and preventing them from drying out.
