Dried Banana

Dried bananas tend to be of two sorts. One is a deep fried, underripe banana. The other is a dried banana that is completely ripe. This is usually dried in chips and is dark yellow and crunchy, with an intense, sweet banana flavour. The bananas are peeled before slicing into either slices (chips), longitudinal slices (spears) or chunks. It is sometimes possible to find whole dried, shrunken bananas. Freeze dried bananas aren't usually as sweet as the other dried types and some dried bananas have flavouring or preservatives added. Dried bananas are rich in potassium, magnesium and manganese. Ripe's bananas are supplied chipped.
