Harina Saging Berde, Green banana flour, a gluten-free flour considered the new superfood is a powder traditionally made from green bananas. Historically, banana flour has been used in Africa and Jamaica as a cheaper alternative to wheat flour. It is now often used as a gluten-free substitute for soft wheat flours or as a source of resistant starch, which has been promoted by some dietary trends such as paleo and primary diets and some recent nutritional research. Banana flour, due to the use of green bananas, has a very mild raw banana flavor and, when cooked, has an earthy, non-banana flavor; it also has a texture reminiscent of soft wheat flours and requires about 25% less volume, making it a good substitute for white whole wheat flour, corn / corn flour, rice flour. Banana flour is generally made with green bananas that are peeled, chopped, dried in the sun and then ground by hand. This process can traditionally be completed by hand, where bananas are dried in the sun, dried in an oven or residential food dryer, and then ground in a mortar and pestle or with a mechanical grinder. The green banana process requires 9/11 kg of raw green bananas to produce 1 kg of banana flour. In recent years, traditionally, banana flour was produced as an alternative to soft wheat flour, wheat, at a high price in various parts of Africa and Jamaica. As early as 1900, banana flour was sold in Central America under the Musarina brand and marketed as beneficial for those with stomach problems and pains. During World War I, the United States Department of Agriculture considered plans to produce banana flour as a substitute for wheat and rye flours, including in cooked products such as pasta, (pancit, noodel, spaghetti, macaroni, pasta) the addition of banana flour has increased the total resistant starch content in appreciable quantities. Banana flour is used as animal feed in various parts of the world. In particular, it is used as an ingredient in milk replacers for calves
