Banana Freeze-Dried Slices

Better Than Ordinary Dried Banana Slices

Bananas are grown in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and their slices retain their original yellow color when freeze-dried. After drying, they develop a crunch that’s satisfying and sweet, with creamy notes of caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla. These characteristics, which add flavor and texture, make them ideal for use in snacks, energy bars, smoothies, cereals, frozen treats, baked goods, and countless other drinks, snacks, and dishes.

Bananas keep approximately 90% of their nutritional value through the freeze-drying process. In contrast to normal dried bananas that use heat to remove moisture, freeze-dried bananas are made by removing the water in a vacuum chamber. This method retains more of the banana’s vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 and potassium. It also provides a snappier texture and more of a natural banana flavor.

Fierce Fruit’s freeze dried bananas are just fruit! Not only can they be used just like bananas, but the crunchy texture opens up other possibilities, too. High in fiber, they can create creamy products if blended. When added to baking products, they can add a strong banana flavor without adding significant water content. They’re also delicious right out of the bag!

Beyond their phenomenal taste and texture, freeze-dried bananas are so practical, especially in commercial kitchens. They take up very little space in the fridge or pantry, keeping your storage areas tidy and efficient. With a shelf life of around one year, there’s no rush to use them. Enjoy real banana flavor on demand with no freezing required!
