What it is

Green banana flour is made from unripe, green bananas that have been dried and ground into a fine powder. It is a gluten-free flour with a mild flavor and is a good source of resistant starch.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use green banana flour as a gluten-free flour alternative in baked goods, snacks, and pasta. Its resistant starch content can also act as a prebiotic, supporting gut health, and it can help thicken sauces and improve texture.

Health notes

Green banana flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Its resistant starch content may aid in blood sugar control and promote satiety, according to some peer-reviewed studies. JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated green banana flour as a food additive.

Allergen info

Green banana flour is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
