Maruya is a popular Filipino delicacy made by frying sliced bananas—typically saba bananas—dipped in a batter of flour, sugar, milk, and eggs. The batter gives the dish its light, crispy exterior, while the bananas provide natural sweetness. Often dusted with additional sugar or served as is, Maruya is enjoyed as a snack or dessert. While the bananas offer essential nutrients, such as potassium and dietary fiber, the dish’s nutritional profile can be less favorable due to added sugar and the oil used in frying. Moderation is key for those mindful of calorie and fat intake. Maruya reflects the Philippines’ love for tropical flavors and simple yet satisfying treats, showcasing how local ingredients are transformed into comforting bites. Pairing it with fresh fruit and limiting added sugars can help make it a healthier indulgence.
