Saba Bananas

Saba bananas are commonly used in Filipino cuisine and can be eaten fresh or cooked. When eaten fresh, they are often served as a snack or dessert and are usually sweeter than other bananas. Additionally, they are utilized as ingredients in a variety of Filipino dishes, such as ginataang halo-halo (a dessert made with coconut milk, sweet potatoes, taro, and saba bananas), turon (a type of banana spring roll), banana cue (a popular street food) or simply what is shown in the picture; Minatamis na Saba, which basically means sweetened Saba bananas.

Saba bananas are also popularly used in savory dishes. They can be boiled, mashed, or fried to make banana fritters or as a side dish for grilled or roasted meats. In addition, saba bananas can be used in stews, curries, and soups to add sweetness and texture to the dish.

Saba bananas are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many ways to make Filipino dishes taste and feel different. Saba bananas are widely available in the Philippines and often sold in local markets and supermarkets. They are also exported to other countries and can be found in Filipino grocery stores worldwide.
