Thai bananas, also known as cooking bananas, are a special variety of bananas commonly used in Thai cuisine. Unlike regular dessert bananas, cooking bananas have a firmer texture and are typically cooked or fried rather than eaten raw. They are an excellent source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. In Thailand, they are often used in traditional dishes, such as fried bananas, curries, or banana chips. Thai bananas have a mild, slightly sweet taste and a starchy texture, making them perfect for savory cooking. They can also be used in purees or as a side dish with meats, offering a healthy, nutrient-dense addition to many meals.
