Looking for a versatile and nutritious ingredient to add to your pantry? Meet banana powder, a naturally sweet, chemical-free food made from dried bananas — especially the Nendran variety, prized for its richness and health benefits. While it’s a go-to choice for baby food, banana powder is increasingly gaining popularity among fitness lovers, home bakers, and even skincare enthusiasts.
In this blog, we’ll explore what banana powder is, the unique benefits of raw Nendran banana powder, and 7 innovative ways to use it beyond just baby meals.
🌟 What is Banana Powder?
Banana powder is made by drying and grinding ripe or raw bananas into a fine powder. The best quality versions come from the Nendran banana, native to Kerala. This variety is known for its high fiber, resistant starch, and rich nutrient profile.
At Daily Farmer, we use raw Nendran bananas, sun-dried and finely powdered with no additives or preservatives — ensuring purity, freshness, and maximum nutrition.
🍌 Why Choose Nendran Banana Powder?
Raw Nendran banana powder is not just a filler. It’s a nutritional powerhouse:
- ✅ Rich in dietary fiber
- ✅ Supports weight gain naturally
- ✅ A natural source of potassium, magnesium, and iron
- ✅ High in resistant starch, promoting gut health
- ✅ Great for babies, growing kids, and adults alike
If you're looking for clean, functional ingredients in your kitchen, Nendran powder is a must-have.

5. Make Healthy Energy Balls
Mix banana powder with peanut butter, dates powder, nuts, and roll into bite-sized energy balls. No cooking needed. These make excellent mid-day snacks for adults and kids alike.
