Very banana, a little goes a long way, delicious and convenient.

RevisionPost2024May24 for 5Lb Organic Banana Powder:• 2024May22-Ordered; 2024May(28-30)-wasETA; 2024May24-Arrived(daysEarly) ~1:30pm via FedEx. Expiration (Best before 2028FEB17)--Almost 4yrs.• Color Tannish-brown, far darker than picture advertisement. Its a fine powder.• Taste, okay. Seems not as fresh as hoped.• It shipped direct from Florida, and days were fairly cool. Per tracking it seemed to travel much in cool of night, then where we live states away, it was far cooler, only getting hot in the last hours before delivery. We retrieved package the very minute FedEx dropped it off, and we scanned it readily with thermometer; FedEx box interior was ~74℉. Exterior temp near same, only ~1 degree warmer. It seems package was kept partly cooler in the FedEx truck, as it was pushing something over 80℉ at moment of arrival.• We expect that somewhere in Florida, its color became darker, for maybe 1 or 2+ reasons. Florida is hot, and bananas turn brown fast, and this is [100% organic raw ripe banana], (no preservatives). It might stay normal banana color, for as long as it can be kept at (guessing) a [steady] low humidity, climate controlled 68℉ or lower; not sure. Maybe we got of batch that was a bit beyond ripe. Or any combination of these or other matters. Is the picture in ad, how it should be, or the color it is, ...only for moments or days? Why is ours much darker?• Wish it were fresher &/or a tad bit less ripe. Upon getting it, we sampled in plain water, in various flavors of whey-powder, and other types protein powders and smoothies. It was okay in everything; ~½ to ⅓ as great as fresh banana. Should be good for baking also, and other recipes. But maybe not dishes, that call for fresh chopped banana. It would work for banana bread, maybe in ice-cream, etc. For some it may be an acquired taste.• We really bought it, so that we'd have banana on hand, at any time, in part for nutritional needs.• We plan to keep in fridge, or in a perfectly climate controlled place (away from heat of kitchen) and in some form of a double hermetically sealed container. Or such as a air tight bag, inside a glass jar (ideally with a vacuum seal)... especially if we attempt to keep it for a longer time. We never want to allow it to exceed 68℉.• We may buy again, but it costs so much. Would like to see it go on sale. Real fresh bananas would be greatly preferred, for about every reason. We bought because of so many instances of difficulties with obtaining fresh bananas, often in part, due to years of continued Broken Supply Chains... where many stores simultaneously have been out of bananas. We can also now--simply mix banana-powder into protein smoothies, even if the power goes out, so long as we have water and spoon or battery powered frother-whisk.• This brand also sells a version of Green Banana powder, which green bananas are a "resistant starch".

I'm really baffled as to what other people think bananas should taste like, based on poor reviews of this product. To me, this tastes just like powdered banana.I use it for a digestive ailment, mixing with plain psyllium husk for flavor. I love it. I love bananas! I look forward to my fiber every morning because of this addition.Also, strange that people believe powdered banana should dissolve. Just because something is powdered, it doesn't mean it is water soluble. Instead, stir thoroughly and drink quickly to ensure the banana particles are mixed into the fluid at time of ingestion, and not fallen to the bottom of the glass.As far as my health condition, IBS D, using this, the biggest changes I've noticed are when I combine 1 tbs psyllium, I tbs powdered banana, and 1 tsp of powdered l-glutamine. Has helped a lot, but not 100% safe, as spicy foods or restaurant foods still go through me.

This tastes great but you can't mix it with anything and put it in milk and it just clumps together no matter how much you stir it or try to mix it make gummies banana gummies therefore I would not recommend it to anyone

I used to buy this product for backpacking etc. It was good back then, sweet and yellow, like ripe bananas. Then my cravings changed and I got into bringing dates and dried mango. Fast forward to a month ago or so when I decided to try this product again. The color is off, it a light gray green yellow color, the taste reminds me of 25% ripe bananas blended with 75% green bananas. I get a stomach ache every time I eat this garbage.Food resellers are cutting corners more and more these days on quality and quantity, not to mention any filler they get away with cutting into the products, and it’s irritating to say the least.After reading the reviews I had even contacted the company and I believe I spoke directly to the owner, or one of the owners, who assured me before I bought it again that the product was made from ripe bananas, is sweet, and that all the negative reviews were baseless. So I bought it, and the negative reviews were right.I’m done buying this crap from these guys unless they step up the quality and honesty again.

Very good addition to my protein shakes.

love it. zero complaints. not much to say if its a 10 outta 10
