This cooking banana from Ecuador is a unique exotic fruit with a high starch and low sugar content. While inedible raw, it becomes delicious when cooked, baked, or grilled. Green ones are perfect for boiling or making crispy chips, while ripe ones caramelize beautifully when baked for sweet desserts. Store this versatile fruit in a dry place at 13–15°C.

They can also be used to make purees and flatbreads.
Fried banana recipe
Ingredients / 4 servings
- 2 tablespoons of fine flour
- 3 dl of water
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 4 cooking bananas
- 2 dl of sunflower oil
Preparation
- Measure the flour into a bowl and add the baking powder.
- Gradually add the water. (The key is to get a very thick pancake batter. It doesn't matter if the batter is a bit lumpy.) The ice-cold water and the lumpiness of the batter will make it really crispy when fried in hot oil.
- Break the bananas into 4-5 pieces and stir into the flour mixture.
- Fry both sides until golden brown in hot oil.
Storage
Store in a dry place at 13-15°C.
