What it is

Freeze-dried banana is a dehydrated form of banana. Bananas are peeled, sliced, and then frozen. The frozen slices are placed in a vacuum chamber where the ice turns directly into vapor, removing moisture while preserving flavor, color, and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use freeze-dried banana to add natural banana flavor, sweetness, and texture to foods. It is often found in cereals, granola bars, snack mixes, and baked goods where a concentrated banana taste is desired without adding moisture.

Health notes

Freeze-dried banana is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of potassium and dietary fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated bananas and their components. At typical consumption levels, it is considered a nutritious food ingredient.

Allergen info

Bananas are not one of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
