Saba banana, a large, starchy variety native to the Philippines, is a versatile fruit widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine. With its thick skin and distinct angular shape, it’s often cooked rather than eaten raw, commonly featured in dishes like turon, banana cue, and savory soups. High in dietary fiber, Saba bananas support digestion, while their complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy. Rich in potassium, they aid in maintaining healthy blood pressure and muscle function. They also contain vitamin C, which boosts immunity, and vitamin B6, which supports brain health. While they are relatively low in sugar compared to other banana varieties, preparation methods such as frying or adding sweeteners can increase their calorie content. Naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients, Saba bananas are a healthy and adaptable ingredient, suitable for sweet or savory dishes when consumed in moderation.
