About Raw Banana

Raw banana, often used as a binder in baking, is a versatile fruit known for its ability to add moisture, tenderness, and subtle sweetness to baked goods. Its creamy texture and mild flavor make it a popular choice for cakes, muffins, quick breads, and cookies. Besides its binding properties, raw banana can enhance the overall texture of a dish, offering a soft, dense crumb. Being naturally gluten-free, vegan, and free from common allergens like dairy and nuts, it is an excellent ingredient for those with dietary restrictions, providing a nutritious alternative to traditional binders like eggs
