About Banana pulp
Banana pulp is the soft, edible interior of a peeled banana, considered separately from the peel. It is generally pale cream to yellow, soft and moist when ripe, and sweet with a familiar fruity aroma. Less-ripe pulp is firmer and more starchy, while ripening softens the texture and increases perceived sweetness.
The pulp may be used fresh, mashed, cooked, or processed into an ingredient for other foods. It can be sold as fresh fruit pulp or as a processed or frozen material, but the name alone does not specify variety, ripeness, or treatment. Those distinctions affect colour, texture, and flavour.
