The nutrition

Why Banana Fig is actually good for you

Drying doesn't just preserve a banana — it concentrates it. Removing the water leaves the potassium, fibre, and B-vitamins behind in a smaller, denser bite. Here's what a 100g serving of plain dehydrated banana typically provides, based on published USDA-referenced nutrition data.

1491mg

Potassium

About 4x more concentrated than fresh banana. Supports healthy blood pressure, muscle function, and heart rhythm.

9.9g

Dietary fibre

Roughly 4x the fibre of a fresh banana, gram for gram. Supports digestion and helps slow down sugar absorption.

22% DV

Vitamin B6

Supports nervous system function and how the body converts food into usable energy.

108mg

Magnesium

Plays a role in bone health, energy production, and normal muscle and nerve function.

0g added sugar

Just banana

All the sweetness is naturally occurring — nothing is added during drying.

0g added oil

Machine-dried, not fried

Unlike traditional fried banana chips, Banana Fig is dried, not deep-fried — so there's no added fat.

Figures are typical values for plain dehydrated banana from published nutrition databases (USDA-referenced), given as a general guide — actual values can vary slightly by batch and ripeness. This isn't medical advice; if you have a specific health condition, it's worth checking with a doctor or dietitian.

We use Nendran, the firm, starchy banana variety Kerala is known for — richer in resistant starch and vitamin B6 than regular dessert bananas, and traditionally the variety used for banana chips across South India.

Why Kerala

Grown, dried, and packed close to home

Kerala's climate and its Nendran bananas are the reason Banana Fig tastes the way it does. Working close to the source means shorter time from harvest to drying, and better control over quality at every step.

Common questions

About Fruitobot & Banana Fig

What is Banana Fig?

Banana Fig is Fruitobot's name for its natural energy fruit — 100% ripe Kerala Nendran banana, slowly machine-dried with nothing added. It's not fried, so it isn't a banana chip; it's closer to a dried fruit or energy snack.

Is dried banana healthy?

Machine-dried banana without added sugar or oil keeps the potassium, fibre, and vitamin B6 naturally found in bananas, while removing water content. Fruitobot's Banana Fig has no added sugar, no added oil, and no preservatives, unlike many fried banana chips.

What is Kerala Nendran banana?

Nendran is a firm, starchy banana variety grown widely in Kerala, India. It's traditionally used for banana chips and other Kerala snacks, and is well suited to drying because of its low moisture and dense texture compared to regular dessert bananas.

Is Banana Fig good for trekking or travel?

Yes — Banana Fig is shelf-stable, doesn't need refrigeration, and is easy to carry, which makes it a practical snack for trekking, long drives, work days, or after a workout, unlike fresh fruit which bruises and spoils quickly.

Where can I buy Fruitobot Banana Fig?
