BANANE INFOGRAPHIE

❄️ Here are the principles of the Lyophilization explained by Miguel Barthelery:

> This technique appeared in France at the beginning of the 20th century.^and century dries the food by Sublimation : the product is first frozen, then its water evaporates under vacuum. The water goes directly from a solid state to a gaseous state, without passing through a liquid state. Because no heat is involved, freeze-drying preserves the volume, appearance, flavor, and texture of the food.

Specifically, the Gros Michel banana is loved primarily for its taste - but it also has real advantages. Here is what its composition allows us to say, strictly within the framework of European regulations.

A whole fruit, a whole taste

Our freeze-dried bananas are made of 100% fruit: no added sugar, no additives, no preservatives, no oil. Just the Gros Michel banana, picked at maturity and cold dehydrated to preserve its full integrity.

Source of vitamin B6

The banana is a natural source of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 contributes:
- to the normal functioning of the nervous system,
- to a normal energy metabolism,
- to normal psychological functions,
- to reduce fatigue.
As part of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Source of potassium

The banana is also known for its potassium. Potassium contributes:
- to normal muscle function,
- to the normal functioning of the nervous system,
- to maintaining normal blood pressure.
It also provides magnesium and fiber, which complement its natural profile.

A flavor concentrated by freeze-drying

Freeze-drying removes only the water from the fruit - about 75% of its original weight. The result: the flavors and natural sugars of the banana are concentrated in each slice. The taste is more intense than that of a fresh banana, with a texture that is both crunchy and melt-in-your-mouth. A true natural candy with a pure fruit taste, and a preserved composition because no heat is involved (unlike fried or hot-dried banana chips).

A tasty alternative to candies

Crunchy, light, portable, and with no added sugar: freeze-dried bananas are a great substitute for candies, cookies, and sweet chips. Perfect to slip into a school bag, a sports bag, a picnic basket, or on the corner of a desk for the 11 a.m. break. Whole, in pieces, or blended into powder, they can be incorporated into both raw preparations and baked goods and smoothies.
