What it is

Banana powder is made from dried bananas. The bananas are typically dehydrated and then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the banana flavor and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use banana powder to add natural banana flavor and sweetness to foods. It can also act as a binder or thickener. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and bars, as well as in powdered drink mixes and snacks.

Health notes

Banana powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of potassium and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated banana and its derivatives, but no specific ADI is set for banana powder itself. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Banana is not one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
