Flavour Profile : Starchy, Mildly Tart and Earthy - In their raw form, Nendran bananas are not sweet; instead, they offer a starchy, mildly tart flavour with subtle earthy or slightly bitter undertones. When cooked, their taste mellows and becomes creamy and vegetable-like—often compared to potatoes—making them highly versatile in savoury preparations.
Texture Profile : Firm, Dense and Meaty - Raw Nendran bananas are exceptionally firm and dense, far sturdier than regular bananas. Their meaty structure holds up well to cooking, steaming, and currying. When thinly sliced and fried, they turn crisp and golden, forming the iconic Kerala banana chips. Cooked, they transition to a smooth, creamy texture while still retaining body.
