Organic Banana in Several Forms
Organic products provide not only nutrition, but also assurance they are safe from pesticides and other harmful products. Freeze-dried Organic Banana from Van Drunen Farms is made from certified organic bananas. The freeze-drying process retains the banana’s color, shape, flavor and nutritional value and makes it ideal for incorporating into everyday food favorites, such as baby food, hot and cold cereals, smoothie mixes, trail mixes and bakery items, like banana breads or muffins. The products are available in powder, diced and sliced forms. Van Drunen Farms, sales@vandrunen.com, www.vandrunenfarms.com
