Are you familiar with saba banana? It is also known as fried saba banana, it is a sweet banana and popular Filipino snack dish. Yesterday in the afternoon I will cook pritong saba for our snack, I also bought the banana to my neighbor, it cost 2.00 per piece and I also bought 20 pieces. Pritong saba is very simple to do it: a.)First you can cut one end of the banana and remove the peel. b.)Then heats up the oil on medium heat. c.) Cook for a couple of minutes. d.) Get ready to put the banana. e.) Then cook for 10 minutes or until the banana becomes brown. f.) Let it cool down for a bit on a wire rack before serving. I also add a little bit of sugar to dip it because I feel much yummy. Or it’s up to you what you like.
By the way another popular banana snack or dessert dish which we also do occasionally is called minatamis na saging or sweetened banana. It is banana plantains boiled in coconut milk and caramel sauce. The other one is saging na maruya it is a super yummy snack, bananacue and many more.
Anyway, based on my research saba banana are rich in potassium, they help the body’s circulatory system deliver oxygen to the brain. This also helps maintain a regular heartbeat and a proper balance of water in the body. Potassium is also helpful for reducing strokes and regulating blood pressure because of the way it promotes circulatory health.
I love bananas… i eat at least 3 a day- so this sweet cooked banana sounds like a dish for me!
