Collection: Saging Saba Box
Saging saba, commonly known as "saba banana" or "cardaba banana," is a type of banana native to the Philippines. It is a versatile fruit often used in both sweet and savory dishes. Here are some common ways to prepare and enjoy saging saba:
-
Turon: Saba bananas are sliced, wrapped in spring roll wrappers with jackfruit, and then fried and caramelized with sugar.
-
Banana Cue: Saba bananas are skewered, coated in brown sugar, and deep-fried until caramelized.
-
Ginataang Saging: Saba bananas are cooked in coconut milk with tapioca pearls and sometimes sweet potatoes or taro.
-
Nilagang Saging: Saba bananas are simply boiled and enjoyed as a snack or side dish.
-
Arroz a la Cubana: Fried saba bananas are often served as a side to this dish, which typically includes ground beef, rice, and a fried egg.
Saba bananas can also be used in various desserts, stews, and soups. Their firm texture makes them suitable for cooking, unlike the softer, sweeter dessert bananas.
