Why Make Your Flour a Little Healthier?

What variety of banana is used to produce Hijo Superfoods Banana Flour?

Only high quality upcycled green Cavendish bananas are used in the production of our banana flour.

How do I use the banana flour?

It can be used on a wide variety of applications–from mouthwatering desserts to sumptuous savory dishes, flavorful sauces and even on your refreshing smoothies!

Advantages of banana flour over other flour types?

It is a 1:1 nutritious substitute to most flours. It is low in GI, high is resistant starch and is gluten-free.

Can it be a food supplement substitute?

While our banana flour is high in nutrients and has other health benefits, it is not recommended to be used as a food supplement substitute. It is best to consult your doctor for your daily dietary needs.

What is resistant starch and how is it beneficial?

Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that is not digested in the small intestines and ferments in the large intestines. It acts as a prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in the gut.

Does it have a banana taste?

Our banana flour has little to no banana taste in countless cooking, baking and beverage applications.

What are upcycled bananas?

Our banana flour is purely made from unripe green Cavendish bananas that are supposed to be thrown out due to the export standards set by the market. But they’re no different in quality and nutritional content, they just look slightly different. So, we turn them them into a product of higher value–banana flour.

Where can I buy Hijo Superfoods Banana Flour?

In the Philippines, it is available at One World Deli and Heyday in NCR, at selected Robinsons Supermarkets in Luzon and in Visayas and at NCCC and other major supermarket chains in Mindanao. It is also available overseas! Feel free to leave a question in the inquiry box to know more.

Banana Flour – More than just an Alternative Ingredient

Made from 100% Philippine green bananas and remains unrefined and all-natural, Hijo Superfoods Banana Flour offers a myriad of reasons to incorporate it into your baking and cooking repertoire. As a gluten-free alternative, it seamlessly replaces traditional flour in a 1:1 ratio in most recipes. Rich in resistant starch and prebiotics, it supports cut health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Its high potassium content contributes to heart and muscle health while boosting metabolism.    Additionally, its high in fiber content aids in weight loss by promoting feelings of fullness and slowing digestion. Although converting to banana flour isn’t an exact science, starting with a 1:1 ratio from all-purpose flour is recommended, adjusting as needed for consistency.
