Our single-origin powder is sourced from Maharashtra, India, and produced using time-honoured drying and grinding methods that retain the fruit’s natural sweetness, fibre, and mineral content. Each batch is FSSAI certified and lab-tested for purity, with no preservatives, additives, or fillers – just pure, wholefood banana goodness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is banana powder vegan and suitable for all diets?
A: Yes. Banana powder is 100% plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, and naturally gluten-free. It is suitable for most dietary preferences, including Ayurvedic, Paleo, and whole-food diets. Always consult a healthcare provider if you have specific allergies or medical conditions.
Q: What is the difference between banana powder and banana chips or banana flour?
A: Banana powder is made from fully ripe, dried bananas ground into a fine powder, retaining natural sweetness and fibre. Banana flour is often made from green (unripe) bananas and has a different nutritional profile and taste. Banana chips are sliced, dried, and sometimes fried or sweetened. Our banana powder is the purest, most versatile form.
Q: How should I use banana powder in cooking and baking?
A: Use 1–2 tablespoons per cup of liquid for drinks and porridges. In baking, replace up to 25% of refined flour with banana powder to add nutrition and natural sweetness; reduce other sweeteners accordingly. Start with small amounts to find your preferred flavour intensity.
Q: How long does banana powder stay fresh?
A: When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, banana powder remains fresh for 12–18 months. Once opened, use within 3 months for best colour, aroma, and nutritional quality. Store away from moisture and strong odours.
