Production & Sourcing

Selection and Preparation:
Ripe bananas are selected for processing. The bananas should be firm and free from any signs of spoilage or damage. They are carefully peeled, and the flesh is sliced into small, evenly-sized pieces.

Freezing:
Freezing is an essential step to preserve the shape, texture, and nutritional content of the fruit.

Freeze Drying:
The frozen banana slices are moved to a freeze-drying machine. This process removes the moisture from the bananas while maintaining their structure and nutrient content.

Condensation:
During freeze drying, the water vapor generated from the sublimation process is removed from the freeze dryer using condensation techniques. This helps to ensure that the moisture is efficiently eliminated from the product.
