I just made it and you were right, it's life-changing!!! Because it's neutral tasting, but very thick and creamy, it can substitute for so many things. This is a godsend for those of us vegans who need low GI diets and cannot have flour and sugar, or for those avoiding gluten. How did I not know about this before?? And it's super cheap! I cannot wait for more recipes with this on your channel. A million thank you's to the amazing Chef Jana!!!
@@HeidisHereAndThere ok, just for the sake of entertainment, refer us to the facts you’ve found stating that a green IS sugar and why. That’s gonna be fun 🥱
@@ChefJana Isn’t the starch in raw bananas jostle resistant starch which is in effect fibre. As the banana ripens, the starch is converted to glucose and fructose, which means, sugar. This is why raw bananas taste neutral and ripe ones taste sweet. Chef Jana specifically states raw bananas.
THANK YOU! Wow! For me, this is a HUGE game changer! The only suggestion I have, off the top of my head, is to freeze the green banana biomass in ice cube trays, then after they are frozen solid, the frozen cubes can be removed from the trays and kept loose in a big bag or container and taken out of the freezer one ice cube at a time. Thank you again. I feel your love. I wish I could hit the like button 100 times! You have just changed the way I shop and live.
That too, I’ve cube trays for fantastic for this recipe, of course! But since I don’t own them I always forget to mention, same happened with the bullion cubes I’ve made! Lots of love to you, Colin! ❤️
@@ChefJana Thank you again. I think silicon ice cube trays are the best. I am on my way right now to buy some green bananas. Can't wait to see how you make some of the things you listed. Love you and your channel so much.
@@colinkelley6493 just follow any curry recipe,(fry in oil, onions green chopped banana with skin removed ,add tomato & garlic good luck & enjoy.serve with rice & sprinkle some coconut if you like.
No wonder I never got very sick as a child. When we had no food my grandma and aunt will cook green bananas. My grandma would smash them and make patty cakes and or just eat like potatoes salad with some oil and onions. It was actually so yummy. I am going to start doing it again following this recipe. I do not know about bowel problems, but we ate a lot. Between that and beans we were very poor but healthy.
That’s when bananas had the 3 black dots in the middle! They were real!!! These gmo bananas are trash. No flavor and they spike sugar in your body. The good old days were good to us.
So so amazing Jana, we as kids kind of leaved on these green bananas. Coming from Uganda ( East Africa) these been a staple food for Africans but we coming from India got so used to eating green bananas too. Very delicious. My mum used to make curry out of them, one were she would peel the raw bananas and cut them in small pieces and cook them in tomatoes, green chilli, ginger and add some roasted coarse peanuts, so yummy and i still cook them in the same method and now my children and my grandchildren love them too. But loved your method too, so going to try that out for sure, thanks so much for sharing. Hasumati from London
Peanuts have a lot of Omega 6, which isn't good. You might think of using another nut like walnut, pecan, brazil, almond, which are Omega 3's < very healthy.

This was FASCINATING! Please do more recipes to show application, as it would come in handy for seasonal baking, I think. You are just amazing, Chef Jana! ThanksForPosting : )

Wow! This just blew my mind! I’m thinking of all the ways I can use this in my oil-free dressings and baked goods! This type of resistant starch is so good for our guts! ❤️
My Mom used to make bread, cake, fritters, tortillas from bananas. We also made a flower from the green bananas, but that has a unique flavor. My mom also made us porridge from green or ripe bananas.
I made this tonight and it looks the exact same as yours! I was so happy when it turned out perfect. Now I’m ready for the recipes to release. Hope you’re having a great week, Jana.
A suggestion for longer storage and convenience...spread out thin layers of the paste on dehydrator trays and dehydrate all moisture out. Powder, and store in jars. To use, scoop out what's needed and add water to desired consistency. :)
I love green bananas and use them in many ways. Thanks millions for this GBB. As a vegan I have something new now. You're a gem, blessings. Here in Guyana green bananas available all the time so I have no excuse not to try this. Thank you

Just keep your originality and teach us more about recipes like GBB. This is your story and I love it🙏 But first, I need to find green bananas 😅🤞
For those concerned about carb content, green banana biomass does not have the same carb count as a ripe banana! Biomass is approximately 2.5 carbs per tablespoon and you'd only use 1 or 2 tablespoons. We usually eat the entire ripe banana which is approximately 25-30 carbs! And simply put-- bananas cause quite a blood sugar spike, whereas the biomass is not digested in the same way, so majority of people discover it's all good! It's even recommended for diabetics👍👍 It can't hurt to be your own excitement and test it for yourself!
I made the banana biomass yesterday and I love it! I love the idea of it, the nutritional benefits and the many ways you have suggested to include it in your diet. I also made the cabbage balls yesterday - absolutely delicious, thank you for these wonderful tasty and healthy recipes. I am now your "go to" when looking for new recipe ideas.
Thanks so much for the gift Chef Jana 🙏🙏🙏I love it, and I love the fact that you explain things. This looks amazing and looks like it's a game-changer too.
Thank you so much for adding recipes below instead of in a link cause I like to take picture of your dish with recipe below. And thank you for taking the time to write the lengthy directions below as well
You’re Making Me CRY All Of The Love That You Are !!!! ♥️♥️♥️ YOU ARE A DOLL !!!! Love You & Thank You Sooo Very Much !!! I Am Subscribing To Your Channel ♥️♥️♥️
My refrigerator has always been loaded with this ingredient for many years. When my friends come into my kitchen and see me making this, they are not very appreciative of how different it is, and nutritious too. I've used it to substitute potatoes and a burger where you used potatoes. It makes every type of food that I eat, but I like the idea of the desserts and also the substituting of eggs. Thank you.
Yes I too use green bananas a lot and substitute it for potatoes. But now will try desserts and smoothies. It is really a good gut friendly starch. I remove the thin fibrous peel and use the soft thick peel inside when cooking. It has a lot of fibre.
Yes you are totally right here. This stuff is amazing. I made an avocado 🥑 dip with it: 1 avocado, 1 tablespoon on banana biomass, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1/3 cup of water, salt and pepper. Blend. The result is a wonderfully smooth dip. Definitely no banana taste. Easy. I will be regularly making this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try it because your burgers and meatballs from green banana peels changed our life! And you are wonderful and have a wonderful channel but sometimes when you talk I can tell even you have jealous haters. Forget about them talk to those of us who love you and don’t try to satisfy the others. You’re too good to feel bad from what they say! Thanks again for everything you’ve taught us!
Dear Chef jana, I am very excited!!! I 've heard about the green banana, but never realized of the many uses you mentioned. Good for you!!! Waiting for the other videos. Many thanks!!!
Jana, Thanks for all the effort and brilliant work you put into your videos and recipes. Much appreciated! This is a must recipe. Also, many of the other recipes that you've shared are incredible and work really well. I'm a fan. Thanks
This definitely is a game changer... I cant eat eggs anymore and as you say our mental health has been an issue for the last year or two.. the best ever christmas present for all... Thankyou very much!! For you and your family I wish you all the best for the festive season and more..🎇
Thank you for this wonderful gift Jana! I am so very happy you shared this. My Child is so picky and sometimes depressed and I know they feel better when the get the Best nutrients. I bless you! Merry Christmas!
Dear Chef Jana. I have been waiting for a substitute like this for such a long time. We have made your Pesto Trapanese and it's so delicious. You are such a brilliant Chef and your recipes rock!! Thank you.
Nothing can replace eggs. One green banana has 12g of carbs, 10 of which is just sugar. It has almost no nutrition. Might as well just go eat a piece of chocolate or something..
@@zylphaaziza3725 do you think they magically appear when the banana ripes? Look, I like bananas myself, it's one of my favorite fruit actually. But it's the fruit not to eat if you wanna get healthy, be it green or not. On the contrary, you have to abandon all fruit if you wanna get actually healthy. All the sugar in fruit overrides the nutrient value and vitamins you could get from it.
@@HaohmaruHL fruits and veg change when they are ripe and then again when they are cooked. Green bananas do not have the glycemic load that bananas do. The resistant starch is what is the incredible factor. Like anything, you need to know if you personally react to this ingredient by testing it. How does it feel to you? Did it raise your blood sugar? If yes, it's not for you. But the amounts that are being used in recipes wouldn't significantly raise most people's blood sugar. I think this is brilliant.
Of course we're gonna stick with you Chef Jana... love learning about new, healthy, nutrient dense, versatile, joyful options like this... we appreciate you putting your heart 💛 into what you present to us ! Very interesting concept.
It doesn’t upset me that you say things like “If you don’t like me taking so much…” it upsets me that there are people out there that make you feel like you need to say things like that. I wish people didn’t make you feel like that. You don’t deserve that. You’re wonderful. I love watching your videos, I love how you speak through your smiles, and how happy you are all the time, how excited you are to share, how positive you are that we are going to love whatever it is you’re going to show us or tell us about. I even love it when something happens that’s unexpected, like the neighbors dog barking. Really I do. Because that’s life, you know. I’m always watching for your cats too! 🙂 Can I just mention how much I love your fashion, what you choose to wear in your videos, like today’s yellow top is gorgeous! Also, set design! I always make a point of noticing what you have set around you, especially your plushie broccoli and cauliflowers! Your kitchen is beautiful without being obnoxious. Its comfortable and inviting. This banana biomass is also new to me, I will look forward to each video where you show us recipes for it! The previews at the beginning of the video look delicious! I’m so glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing idea! I am not vegan but these types of ideas, your sunny personality and great recipes are exactly why I watch you. Dealing with food intolerances and also trying to eat healthier means you sometimes have to get creative with foods and ingredients. Your recipes are such an inspiration while trying to live healthier and control my angry digestion. Thank you!
Wow! This truly is a gift. Never seen you before and usually I look to see if you got more interesting videos before I subscribe, but these type of interesting videos I just subscribe without looking. These days everyone dislikes long idle talk and I'm one of those people.. we just want the info fast.. no time for nonsense.. but I didn't think you talked too much.. you talked what was necessary. Awesome video
Wow - thank you so much for bringing our attention to Green Banana Biomass and it's many many uses. I was told never to eat green bananas, so boiling them, the processes needed to make them usable and not using more than 3T in a recipe makes them safe to ingest. Thank you so much Chef Jana!
WOW, absolutely fantastic video!! I've never seen anyone explain it so well and actually make me want to start to add it to my recipes!! Thank youuuuuuuuu!!!!
In some Caribbean restaurants you can order a green banana dish and it will be 3 or 4 bananas on the plate. It's starchy, much like potatoes. A different texture of course but it can be a meal not just an ingredient of 3 or so of cooked blended starch.
I love your video. This was my first time ever hearing about green banana biomass. Thank you for sharing. I have a question. Can this be made without a pressure cooker?
Thank you, thank you. Never heard of this before. Lucked into some organic green bananas. I love it. Great way to have tasty, healthy salad dressing. I just made an orange vinaigrette dressing and pour over cooked beets. I see they also sell green banana flour. Scientific studies corroborate the health benefits of this. And as another viewer stated, YES, I'm putting the peels in my outdoor worm bin.
I'm off to hunt down some unripe bananas in the shops tomorrow! Would love to know some more recipes to use them in, so am looking forward to your upcoming videos for suggestions. Thank you for bringing this completely new to me foodstuff to my attention.
Thank you for this early Christmas 🎁, chef Jana! I'm having a challenging time transitioning to WFPB, as some vegan substitutes are not readily available in my area. This info is a great help. Looking forward to more of your "awesomeness" using this ingredient in dishes and desserts 👍👍
We Jamaicans use blended green bananas to make porridge ,we add nutmeg,vanilla ,cinnamon ,milk and Sweden to taste. Some add coconut milk.so delicious and healthy.
A chef that is brilliantly smarty and healthy😊 wow an amazing combination, thank you for all your research and recipes, I enjoy all your content and appreciate the time you take to share them.
I have just discovered your channel. I have been eating green banana all my life. I am from the Caribbean. I look forward for your recipes. Thank for sharing and may God bless you,
This is the first video I have seen of you and my mind was blown!💥 I have been cooking whole food plant based for over a year, no oil or processed foods. I am going to try this, I'm so impressed with how you demonstrated it so simply. The only thing I question is, the recipe shown at the end you added olive oil. If the green banana replaces oil, why use oil in the recipe?
Great stuff! After i scrolled to get the answer to my questions but didnt find it i will ask them and hope to get a reply: 1. we talk about NORMAL green/unripe bananas, right? Or about Plantain/cooking bananas/Platanos Machos? 2. How long would it need to be cooked without a steamcooker, as i dont have and will definitely not buy one. Thanks in advance Irina writing from Dahab, Sinai, Egypt
Those are not plantains, those are regular yellow bananas, only unripe (green). If you're not using a pressure cooker, bring some water to a boil, lower to simmer, add the bananas and simmer them for 20 to 30 minutes. Then proceed for the recipe as it is :) Oh, I LOVE Egypt, been there for 20 days and I was left speechless! Much love to you!
This reminds me and looks like banana pudding, this would also be good to sweeten it by blending it with soaked date water, I did that one time for chocolate pudding. I'm going to try that with this one and maybe with some overnight oats and coconut mango toppings. Getting hungry already :-)
@@brendastolecki4755 yes you can do that too..I’m sure it would be more concentrated and syrupy.. and that’s fine if that’s your goal but you would be amazed at how well this works too and the way you describe well it’s been cooked at high temps which puts it in the refined food category which I want to avoid and I try to preserve as much nutrition and avoid high concentration of refined sugars.. so it’s another way that’s all
We aye also alot of green banana mashed with butter so yummi i stil do love it, or you can eat it with silken tofu for egg, with your fried onion, bell pepper ,selery, 1 galic, in your veg egg relly yummi, realy keeps your tummy full.
We love 💕 you too Chef Jana. Thank you so much for all your recipes that help us make ingredients we might not be able to get where we are 🙏❣️ I’m very excited to try this delicious secret you shared with us👍🏼today 👌🏼 Please cuddle your kitties for me and I’m sending you a big virtual hug 🤗 from Surrey BC Canada 🇨🇦 Jane 😘and Chance 😽
Hello! I am a new subscriber from Kalamazoo, Michigan. My sister shared this video with me. I think your information is awesome. Hope to try this soon. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills! 😉👍💖🌈
I know it's silly, it's just 2 minutes into your channel, but i am subscribing after seeing the visuals you used in the video ... :)) Cheers !! ... and later as I now watch the video , I just find it's a 'keep it up'for you ...
When I saw “substitutes eggs” I couldn’t have clicked faster! As someone with an egg allergy, it can be difficult to find good substitutes, especially for baking cookies and cakes. Many other recipes as well. I can’t wait to try this! (Instant new subscriber- so glad to have had this recommended to me! ☺️) But I must ask: How will I know that it has worked?
I'm looking forward to more recipe videos using this ingredient 👍 vegan cooking is so creative and versatile! While many struggle when their prepared foods aren't available, we plant based people get creative 😁
Thank you for the Christmas gift. Yes it was a very well thought out recipe on your part and highly appreciated on mine. A new superfood. I'm not sure I can find Green Bananas in Montreal but will look for them. ♥️
Try a Giant Tiger (Tigre Geant). I'm in Pembroke, ON, and the Giant Tiger here seems to stock mostly green bananas. This new superfood makes me so excited because now I don't have to wait for the bananas to ripen. Good luck in your search~
Question: how to cook it without a pressure cooker? Very sweet that you made this video with love :) Perhaps call it banana starch, because the word 'biomass' is sometimes associated with sewage :(
@@donnawoodford6641 EXACTLY! she didnt cater to people who haven't got a pressure cooker shes good but she should mention these important things if shes going to do videos imo so im not subscribing because of these omissions and she had plenty of time to just mention it. Just use a fork or potato masher
How wonderful and generous of you to share this. I have cooked grated green banana curry for years and I am so delighted with this new use. Thank you for a top, informative video. Banana Biomass. I love it! Blessings.
Just saw this before my husband went grocery shopping, so I put green bananas on the list! Made it and it's in my freezer now awaiting recipes for baking! :) Thank you!
Thank you so much! With all my diet restrictions I needed something else for sauces and baking. Mine is in the instant pot right now. I will freeze some in a silicone mini muffin pan, they hold a 1/4 cup, that should be perfect for what I need. New Sub here 🤩
I just made the most amazing Creamy Gravy with Mushrooms and Spinach over rice. I added broth, almond milk, couple teaspoons of coconut milk powder and the rest of my gluten free and dairy free gravy recipe. The green banana biomass or purée really made it thick and creamy! Such a big difference! Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!
Thank you for this illustration of your recipe. I love the natural setting in your video; your video has such a natural warm welcoming atmosphere. A breath of fresh air!
Okay, so I'm the targeted audience, at least in part. 😅 That was so interesting because it's a completely new ingredient to me. I'm especially eager to learn how to use it for cakes and other sweets and how it enhances them. Btw, I don't mind your detailed information on the recipes at all Why should I? I want my questions properly answered.😉 Don't apologise to Gen Z for their 30 seconds attention span. 😉 Thanks for the intriguing introduction.👏
@@ChefJana I'm gen Z and I want the details! Most things in RUclips aren't really interesting but this definitely is! I hadn't been so intrigued by an ingredient in a long time. This deserves a detailed explanation because it could change mainstream vegan cooking forever. This is important! This needs to be known!!
IF BANANAS ARE NOT ORGANIC, I'LL USE 1 TSP. BAKING SODA = 2 CUPS WATER - TO REMOVE PESTICIDE. YOU ARE AWESOME CHEF JANA ! THANKS A LOT. WATCHING IN CANADA
Thanks for another great video! If you took them from the pressure cooker, sliced, dehydrated, and ground into flour, do you suppose you could reconstitute the flour with water and have nearly the same thing?
I just made it and you were right, it's life-changing!!! Because it's neutral tasting, but very thick and creamy, it can substitute for so many things. This is a godsend for those of us vegans who need low GI diets and cannot have flour and sugar, or for those avoiding gluten. How did I not know about this before?? And it's super cheap! I cannot wait for more recipes with this on your channel. A million thank you's to the amazing Chef Jana!!!

that curry sounds amazing. could you explain more how to make it please???
Not sure if anyone else already suggested, but the banana peels and the initial water would probably do very well in the garden or in the compost bin!
I am going to feed them to my compost worms
Banana peals are also wonderful under your tomato plants
DEFINITELY! 🌺✌️💚🌺
@@SerenityHills-he7uu I had no idea peels could be used that way. Do I bury them under a few inches of soil around each plant?
You can also cook them if organic. That's a fantastic and nutritious vegan food that can be seasoned in many ways.

Biomass is approximately 2.5 carbs per tablespoon and you'd only use 1 or 2 tablespoons. We usually eat the entire ripe banana which is approximately 25-30 carbs! And simply put-- bananas cause quite a blood sugar spike, whereas the biomass is not digested in the same way, so majority of people discover it's all good! It's even recommended for diabetics👍👍 It can't hurt to be your own excitement and test it for yourself!
I LIKE GREEN BANANA!!!!!! I am doing keto organic vegan and green banana is permitted. Thank-you. Have a nice life.
Wonderful!
I made the banana biomass yesterday and I love it! I love the idea of it, the nutritional benefits and the many ways you have suggested to include it in your diet. I also made the cabbage balls yesterday - absolutely delicious, thank you for these wonderful tasty and healthy recipes. I am now your "go to" when looking for new recipe ideas.
Thanks so much for the gift Chef Jana 🙏🙏🙏I love it, and I love the fact that you explain things. This looks amazing and looks like it's a game-changer too.
Can't wait for more recipes! Thanks for always having fresh ideas for us to enjoy!
Thank you so much for adding recipes below instead of in a link cause I like to take picture of your dish with recipe below. And thank you for taking the time to write the lengthy directions below as well
This recipe is really interesting, can't wait to try it. Thank you for sharing it Jana.
You’re Making Me CRY All Of The Love That You Are !!!! ♥️♥️♥️ YOU ARE A DOLL !!!!
Love You & Thank You Sooo Very Much !!! I Am Subscribing To Your Channel ♥️♥️♥️
My refrigerator has always been loaded with this ingredient for many years. When my friends come into my kitchen and see me making this, they are not very appreciative of how different it is, and nutritious too. I've used it to substitute potatoes and a burger where you used potatoes. It makes every type of food that I eat, but I like the idea of the desserts and also the substituting of eggs. Thank you.
Yes I too use green bananas a lot and substitute it for potatoes. But now will try desserts and smoothies. It is really a good gut friendly starch. I remove the thin fibrous peel and use the soft thick peel inside when cooking. It has a lot of fibre.
Yes you are totally right here. This stuff is amazing. I made an avocado 🥑 dip with it: 1 avocado, 1 tablespoon on banana biomass, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1/3 cup of water, salt and pepper. Blend.
The result is a wonderfully smooth dip.
Definitely no banana taste. Easy.
I will be regularly making this.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. I grew up eating green banana boiled like potatoes and also making banana hot meal with milk.
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try it because your burgers and meatballs from green banana peels changed our life! And you are wonderful and have a wonderful channel but sometimes when you talk I can tell even you have jealous haters. Forget about them talk to those of us who love you and don’t try to satisfy the others. You’re too good to feel bad from what they say! Thanks again for everything you’ve taught us!
Much love to you, Violet! Very pretty name, by the way ;)
Dear Chef jana, I am very excited!!! I 've heard about the green banana, but never realized of the many uses you mentioned. Good for you!!! Waiting for the other videos. Many thanks!!!
Jana, Thanks for all the effort and brilliant work you put into your videos and recipes. Much appreciated! This is a must recipe. Also, many of the other recipes that you've shared are incredible and work really well. I'm a fan. Thanks
This definitely is a game changer... I cant eat eggs anymore and as you say our mental health has been an issue for the last year or two.. the best ever christmas present for all... Thankyou very much!! For you and your family I wish you all the best for the festive season and more..🎇
Just watched your video cannot wait to make this. And would like to say that you presented and spoke beautifully. Thank you!!
Thank you for this wonderful gift Jana! I am so very happy you shared this. My Child is so picky and sometimes depressed and I know they feel better when the get the Best nutrients. I bless you! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jane! ❤️😘
Dear Chef Jana. I have been waiting for a substitute like this for such a long time. We have made your Pesto Trapanese and it's so delicious. You are such a brilliant Chef and your recipes rock!! Thank you.
This is SO interesting. I’ve never heard of this before. Yes please show us more recipes. I’m very interested in how it replaces flour and eggs.
Nothing can replace eggs. One green banana has 12g of carbs, 10 of which is just sugar. It has almost no nutrition. Might as well just go eat a piece of chocolate or something..
@@HaohmaruHL not in the green state….
@@zylphaaziza3725 do you think they magically appear when the banana ripes? Look, I like bananas myself, it's one of my favorite fruit actually. But it's the fruit not to eat if you wanna get healthy, be it green or not. On the contrary, you have to abandon all fruit if you wanna get actually healthy. All the sugar in fruit overrides the nutrient value and vitamins you could get from it.
Huh??? Wth???… 🙄🙄🙄
@@HaohmaruHL fruits and veg change when they are ripe and then again when they are cooked. Green bananas do not have the glycemic load that bananas do. The resistant starch is what is the incredible factor. Like anything, you need to know if you personally react to this ingredient by testing it. How does it feel to you? Did it raise your blood sugar? If yes, it's not for you. But the amounts that are being used in recipes wouldn't significantly raise most people's blood sugar. I think this is brilliant.
Of course we're gonna stick with you Chef Jana... love learning about new, healthy, nutrient dense, versatile, joyful options like this... we appreciate you putting your heart 💛 into what you present to us ! Very interesting concept.
It doesn’t upset me that you say things like “If you don’t like me taking so much…” it upsets me that there are people out there that make you feel like you need to say things like that.
I wish people didn’t make you feel like that. You don’t deserve that. You’re wonderful.
I love watching your videos, I love how you speak through your smiles, and how happy you are all the time, how excited you are to share, how positive you are that we are going to love whatever it is you’re going to show us or tell us about.
I even love it when something happens that’s unexpected, like the neighbors dog barking. Really I do. Because that’s life, you know.
I’m always watching for your cats too! 🙂
Can I just mention how much I love your fashion, what you choose to wear in your videos, like today’s yellow top is gorgeous!
Also, set design! I always make a point of noticing what you have set around you, especially your plushie broccoli and cauliflowers! Your kitchen is beautiful without being obnoxious.
Its comfortable and inviting.
This banana biomass is also new to me, I will look forward to each video where you show us recipes for it! The previews at the beginning of the video look delicious!
I’m so glad I found your channel!
You guys… how much I love you, you know that? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@kroselynn DITTO !
@@ChefJana YES... we know 💛
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing idea! I am not vegan but these types of ideas, your sunny personality and great recipes are exactly why I watch you. Dealing with food intolerances and also trying to eat healthier means you sometimes have to get creative with foods and ingredients. Your recipes are such an inspiration while trying to live healthier and control my angry digestion. Thank you!
Pleasure is all mine, Amber! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow! This truly is a gift. Never seen you before and usually I look to see if you got more interesting videos before I subscribe, but these type of interesting videos I just subscribe without looking. These days everyone dislikes long idle talk and I'm one of those people.. we just want the info fast.. no time for nonsense.. but I didn't think you talked too much.. you talked what was necessary. Awesome video
Wow - thank you so much for bringing our attention to Green Banana Biomass and it's many many uses. I was told never to eat green bananas, so boiling them, the processes needed to make them usable and not using more than 3T in a recipe makes them safe to ingest. Thank you so much Chef Jana!
I came back so I can make it. Every time I go to the supermarket I look carefully at green bananas 😅
Love the potential of this Jana 💚💚💚
WOW, absolutely fantastic video!! I've never seen anyone explain it so well and actually make me want to start to add it to my recipes!! Thank youuuuuuuuu!!!!
Vi! Eh a sua cara essa receita! pensei muito em vc quando fiz, acho que vc vai amar!
I can't wait to try this Jana! The possibilities seem endless. Thank you!
In some Caribbean restaurants you can order a green banana dish and it will be 3 or 4 bananas on the plate. It's starchy, much like potatoes. A different texture of course but it can be a meal not just an ingredient of 3 or so of cooked blended starch.
Is it high in starch?
these bananas are usually cooking banana, something completely different!
Just happened to find this generous video. I won't go in to any thank you's as I am sure you have heard enough. Instead. I subscribed.
I love your video. This was my first time ever hearing about green banana biomass. Thank you for sharing. I have a question. Can this be made without a pressure cooker?
Yes, absolutely! 20 to 30 minutes in a medium simmer ;)
This was also my question. Thank you 😊
Thanks a lot! My unsaid question is well answered 😊
Thank you, thank you. Never heard of this before. Lucked into some organic green bananas. I love it. Great way to have tasty, healthy salad dressing. I just made an orange vinaigrette dressing and pour over cooked beets. I see they also sell green banana flour. Scientific studies corroborate the health benefits of this. And as another viewer stated, YES, I'm putting the peels in my outdoor worm bin.
I'm off to hunt down some unripe bananas in the shops tomorrow! Would love to know some more recipes to use them in, so am looking forward to your upcoming videos for suggestions. Thank you for bringing this completely new to me foodstuff to my attention.
I have been vegan since 2011 and when I think, ok now I know it all... BOOM! Something mind blowing like this comes up!
😀😁😊🤗💖😋👌
Thank you for this early Christmas 🎁, chef Jana! I'm having a challenging time transitioning to WFPB, as some vegan substitutes are not readily available in my area. This info is a great help. Looking forward to more of your "awesomeness" using this ingredient in dishes and desserts 👍👍
You can do it! And I'll be here every step of the way so you can count on me! :)
Yes!!!!
Hang in there. Soooo worth it. ❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️🌱❤️
We Jamaicans use blended green bananas to make porridge ,we add nutmeg,vanilla ,cinnamon ,milk and Sweden to taste. Some add coconut milk.so delicious and healthy.
A chef that is brilliantly smarty and healthy😊 wow an amazing combination, thank you for all your research and recipes, I enjoy all your content and appreciate the time you take to share them.
So nice of you!
I have just discovered your channel. I have been eating green banana all my life. I am from the Caribbean. I look forward for your recipes. Thank for sharing and may God bless you,
Definitely looking forward to seeing how you use it in your recipes. This is very interesting 😁
I know it's silly, it's just 2 minutes into your channel, but i am subscribing after seeing the visuals you used in the video ... :)) Cheers !!
This is the first video I have seen of you and my mind was blown!💥 I have been cooking whole food plant based for over a year, no oil or processed foods. I am going to try this, I'm so impressed with how you demonstrated it so simply. The only thing I question is, the recipe shown at the end you added olive oil. If the green banana replaces oil, why use oil in the recipe?
I have made a pesto alla trappanese, and I used the GBB instead of ricotta cheese, but you can alternate ;)
Great stuff!
After i scrolled to get the answer to my questions but didnt find it i will ask them and hope to get a reply:
1. we talk about NORMAL green/unripe bananas, right? Or about Plantain/cooking bananas/Platanos Machos?
2. How long would it need to be cooked without a steamcooker, as i dont have and will definitely not buy one.
Thanks in advance
Irina writing from Dahab, Sinai, Egypt
Those are not plantains, those are regular yellow bananas, only unripe (green).
If you're not using a pressure cooker, bring some water to a boil, lower to simmer, add the bananas and simmer them for 20 to 30 minutes. Then proceed for the recipe as it is :)
Oh, I LOVE Egypt, been there for 20 days and I was left speechless! Much love to you!
@@ChefJana thank you, i will send some egyptian vibes over the ocean :)
This reminds me and looks like banana pudding, this would also be good to sweeten it by blending it with soaked date water, I did that one time for chocolate pudding. I'm going to try that with this one and maybe with some overnight oats and coconut mango toppings. Getting hungry already :-)
Soaked blended dates look a lot Iike banana biomass just a little darker ... it works great for substituting sugar
@@marymorningstar6832 DATE SYRUP is made by soaking dates in boiled water 2 TIMES, then filter through cheese cloth; NOT blended dates.
@@brendastolecki4755 yes you can do that too..I’m sure it would be more concentrated and syrupy.. and that’s fine if that’s your goal but you would be amazed at how well this works too and the way you describe well it’s been cooked at high temps which puts it in the refined food category which I want to avoid and I try to preserve as much nutrition and avoid high concentration of refined sugars.. so it’s another way that’s all
Wow you put a smile on my face so big. With everything going on today in the world,you hv to beable to help your family and friends
Do green plantains work the same? I can't wait to try this! Thank you, Jana
In my culture [Haitian] we blend this with the skin to make green banana porridge 😋 sooo yummy
You're awesome Chef Jana!!! Thank you so much for sharing this superfoods with us. You are the best!! ❤️❤️
You are! 😘😘
We aye also alot of green banana mashed with butter so yummi i stil do love it, or you can eat it with silken tofu for egg, with your fried onion, bell pepper ,selery, 1 galic, in your veg egg relly yummi, realy keeps your tummy full.
So good!
We love 💕 you too Chef Jana. Thank you so much for all your recipes that help us make ingredients we might not be able to get where we are 🙏❣️

I would love to see a mayonnaise recipe made with this ingredient. I follow a Starch based lifestyle. This is a game changer!
I would love a mayonnaise recipe, too! And pancakes 🙂
I know it's silly, it's just 2 minutes into your channel, but i am subscribing after seeing the visuals you used in the video ... :)) Cheers !! ... and later as I now watch the video , I just find it's a 'keep it up'for you ...
Wow! Bananas continue to amaze me as an affordable, healthy, and easy to grow staple!
Great video Chef Jana! Opens doors of possibility!
We love you, thanks for the great unique recipe!
A big hug. 🤗😊💖👏💕🙏
When I saw “substitutes eggs” I couldn’t have clicked faster! As someone with an egg allergy, it can be difficult to find good substitutes, especially for baking cookies and cakes. Many other recipes as well. I can’t wait to try this! (Instant new subscriber- so glad to have had this recommended to me! ☺️)
But I must ask: How will I know that it has worked?
I'm impatiently waiting for her to tell us how and how much to use of this GBB as an egg substitute.
I'd love to know how to use this as an egg substitute, too.
Thanks for your gift,it's priceless.
God bless and Thanks for sharing.
I'm looking forward to more recipe videos using this ingredient 👍 vegan cooking is so creative and versatile! While many struggle when their prepared foods aren't available, we plant based people get creative 😁
Much more to come, Ellen! 😻
Amen!
I JUST LOVE YOUR ENERGY 🙏 Thank you for all your delicious, healthy recipes 😋
Thank you for the Christmas gift. Yes it was a very well thought out recipe on your part and highly appreciated on mine. A new superfood. I'm not sure I can find Green Bananas in Montreal but will look for them. ♥️
Try a Giant Tiger (Tigre Geant). I'm in Pembroke, ON, and the Giant Tiger here seems to stock mostly green bananas. This new superfood makes me so excited because now I don't have to wait for the bananas to ripen. Good luck in your search~
@@gwendolyngailstenersen4448 Thank you.
thank you so much for this video! I’ve already subscribed and am really excited after reading sooooo many comments!
Welcome aboard, Rita!
Question: how to cook it without a pressure cooker? Very sweet that you made this video with love :) Perhaps call it banana starch, because the word 'biomass' is sometimes associated with sewage :(
Sure, just follow the same steps, only you will bring the bananas to a boil then to a swimmer and let them simmering for 20 to 30 minutes. 😘
@@ChefJana 👍
And what happens if you don't have a blender or mixer?
@@ChefJana Thankyou but cant believe you didn't mention this not everyone has a pressure cooker!
@@donnawoodford6641 EXACTLY! she didnt cater to people who haven't got a pressure cooker
shes good but she should mention these important things if shes going to do videos imo so im not subscribing because of these omissions and she had plenty of time to just mention it. Just use a fork or potato masher
How wonderful and generous of you to share this. I have cooked grated green banana curry for years and I am so delighted with this new use. Thank you for a top, informative video. Banana Biomass. I love it! Blessings.
You are so welcome!
Just saw this before my husband went grocery shopping, so I put green bananas on the list! Made it and it's in my freezer now awaiting recipes for baking! :) Thank you!
Waooo thanks for sharing this wonderful posting and I will try it. Thanks for been a blessing. 👍🙏🏼
Hello Chef, thank you so much for this great tips follow of using the green bananas really great recipe ♥️
R u fr. Guam?
I like how real she is. This wasn't edited for perfection.
Muah!
Thank you so much! With all my diet restrictions I needed something else for sauces and baking. Mine is in the instant pot right now. I will freeze some in a silicone mini muffin pan, they hold a 1/4 cup, that should be perfect for what I need. New Sub here 🤩
I just made the most amazing Creamy Gravy with Mushrooms and Spinach over rice. I added broth, almond milk, couple teaspoons of coconut milk powder and the rest of my gluten free and dairy free gravy recipe. The green banana biomass or purée really made it thick and creamy! Such a big difference! Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!
Welcome aboard, Sheryn! And thank you so much for the lovely comment, I am very happy that you like the GBB as well! Muah!
Thank you for this illustration of your recipe.
I love the natural setting in your video; your video has such a natural warm welcoming atmosphere.
A breath of fresh air!
Oh, thank you so much for you lovely words, Amy! Much love to you!
Thank you Chef Jana. I would to see how this can be used in a simple pound cake recipe.
Thank you smthing new smthing unique vry brilliant idea and healthy
Just WOW ... don't you dare apologize for talking longer than usual .. anything you say, we will listen to. Always a delight to see you .. really
I love you, Linda! ❤️❤️❤️
I love it when you think outside the bun.
Okay, so I'm the targeted audience, at least in part. 😅 That was so interesting because it's a completely new ingredient to me. I'm especially eager to learn how to use it for cakes and other sweets and how it enhances them.
Btw, I don't mind your detailed information on the recipes at all
Why should I? I want my questions properly answered.😉 Don't apologise to Gen Z for their 30 seconds attention span. 😉
Thanks for the intriguing introduction.👏
How awesome are you, Julia! Muah!
@@ChefJana I'm gen Z and I want the details! Most things in RUclips aren't really interesting but this definitely is! I hadn't been so intrigued by an ingredient in a long time. This deserves a detailed explanation because it could change mainstream vegan cooking forever. This is important! This needs to be known!!
I know, right?... More recipes and further explanation to come! ;)
Beautiful comment!
IF BANANAS ARE NOT ORGANIC, I'LL USE 1 TSP. BAKING SODA = 2 CUPS WATER - TO REMOVE PESTICIDE.
YOU ARE AWESOME CHEF JANA ! THANKS A LOT. WATCHING IN CANADA
Thanks for another great video! If you took them from the pressure cooker, sliced, dehydrated, and ground into flour, do you suppose you could reconstitute the flour with water and have nearly the same thing?
Thanks for speaking in English and making it easy for many of us
My pleasure 😻😘
