Banana is a widely used fruit in both food processing and nutraceutical industries due to its natural sweetness, mild flavour and high nutritional value. DWBL Foods produces Dehydrated Banana Chips and Banana Powder using ripe, high-quality bananas sourced from major cultivation regions such as Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Our dehydration process preserves the fruit’s natural flavour, colour and nutrients, making it an ideal ingredient for snacks, baby food, bakery, beverages and health mixes.
Product Overview
Dehydrated banana products are made by washing, peeling and slicing or pureeing ripe bananas, followed by controlled drying to remove moisture. The chips offer a crisp, naturally sweet texture, while the powder provides a fine, free-flowing ingredient suitable for blending in a variety of formulations. No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives are added.
