LifeLike Freeze-dried banana LL056

Detailed product description

Freeze-dried banana is 100% freeze-dried banana with no additives or preservatives, offering a fresh, sweet and pure banana flavour, with a moisture content of less than 5 per cent.
Freeze-drying is a process of drying fruit by freezing. The fruit is first rapidly frozen and then dried under reduced pressure, where the water in the fruit turns to vapour, allowing the fruit to retain its natural structure, colour, aroma and, above all, nutritional value, including all the vitamins and minerals found in fresh fruit. Quite simply, everything found in fresh fruit can also be found in freeze-dried fruit. Health
benefits of bananas:

• Three natural sugars – glucose, sucrose and fructose – together with the fibre contained in bananas, are a source of energy.
• A sufficient amount of fibre soothes the gut during the treatment of both diarrhoea and constipation, and reduces lipid and cholesterol levels. Bananas are an ideal food for people suffering from coeliac disease.
• Thanks to tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin in the body, they dilate blood vessels, alleviate spinal pain and have antidepressant effects.
• They contain 400 mg of potassium and 1 mg of sodium per 100 g of edible portion, which is the best ratio of these two substances found in any plant-based food.
• Due to their high potassium and low salt content, they are officially recognised as a means of lowering blood pressure and protecting against heart attacks and strokes.
• Bananas are the only raw fruit that can be eaten by people with stomach ulcers.
• They help prevent calcium loss and aid in building and maintaining strong bones.
