Fruit facts
GO BANANAS
Dr Chiranjit Parmar

Ripe bananas are dried in Brazil and some other countries. Such bananas are sold in large quantities in food stores of Sao Palo and Rio de Janeiro. There is no added sugar or preservative. The fruits make a perfect snack especially if you are looking for an energy boost. Though these are whole fruits, but they look smaller in size as the fruits shrink after losing moisture in drying process. The taste is right, not overtly sweet, texture is chewy and the flavour is perfect. The drying process is carried out in sun. It seems that Brazilian weather and the Brazilian banana varieties are suitable for sun drying.
