NuBana is a neutral tasting fruit powder that delivers valuable functional properties because it has a different starch structure than starch from corn, potato, tapioca or other plants. NuBana does not absorb water from the environment and will not clump in storage. Freshly harvested green bananas are rich in starch. This starch, called “resistant starch”, naturally resists digestion and is an insoluble dietary fiber. NuBana Green Banana Powder is also rich in potassium and magnesium. All three of these nutrients are under-consumed and contribute important health benefits. Terova strives to use the entire crop of peeled green bananas to produce NuBana Green Banana Powder – none of the bananas are wasted. In contrast, up to 20% of the bananas grown for the fresh market are composted or destroyed because they do not meet the size or shape specifications for fresh markets. Terova is helping to reduce the banana waste, which is good for the planet as well as good for food manufacturers and consumers.
