What it is

Banana puree from concentrate is made from bananas that have been processed to remove most of their water content, creating a concentrated form. This concentrate is then reconstituted with water to create a puree. It is used to provide banana flavor and texture in various food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use banana puree from concentrate to add natural banana flavor, sweetness, and body to products like juices, smoothies, yogurts, and baked goods. It serves as a convenient way to incorporate banana characteristics without using fresh fruit.

Health notes

Banana puree from concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of natural sugars, fiber, and potassium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit preparations, but specific evaluations for banana puree from concentrate may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Bananas are not among the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA, nor do they contain gluten.
