About Banana puree
Banana purée is banana flesh mashed or mechanically processed into a smooth or softly textured mass. It is typically cream to yellow-brown, with a sweet, fruity flavour that becomes stronger as the fruit ripens. Its consistency may range from thick and spoonable to more fluid.
It is used as an ingredient in baking, sauces, and prepared foods, and may be sold fresh, frozen, or in shelf-stable packs. Commercial purées can differ in ripeness, straining, heat treatment, and added ingredients. The term identifies a form of banana, not a single standardized recipe.
