About Bananaque

Bananaque is a popular Filipino street food made by coating ripe saba bananas in brown sugar and deep-frying them until caramelized. Often skewered on bamboo sticks, it’s a sweet and satisfying snack or dessert enjoyed across the Philippines. The bananas provide essential nutrients like potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamins B6 and C, promoting heart health and digestion. However, the dish’s deep-frying process adds extra calories and fat, while the caramelized sugar boosts its sweetness but also its sugar content. Moderation is key when enjoying Bananaque as part of a balanced diet. This delectable treat reflects the vibrant and innovative spirit of Filipino cuisine, blending local produce with indulgent flavors to create a universally loved delight.
