About Ginanggang

Ginanggang is a popular Filipino street food originating from the southern Philippines, particularly in the Visayas and Mindanao regions. It consists of ripe saba bananas, skewered and grilled over hot coals until caramelized, then brushed with margarine and sprinkled with sugar for added flavor. This sweet treat is cherished for its simplicity and rich taste. Nutritionally, saba bananas are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins such as B6 and C, contributing to digestive health and energy. However, the addition of margarine and sugar can increase its calorie and fat content, making the dish an occasional indulgence rather than an everyday snack. Ginanggang exemplifies Filipino ingenuity in transforming local produce into delightful street fare, appealing to all ages.
