Banana – kluay nam wah – dried

Description

The most common variety of banana in Thailand is ‘kluay nam wah’ – they are a very nice variety, distinct for their sweet flavour and plump, firm, moist flesh.

It’s a smaller banana compared to the cavendish variety (which is commonly available in the UK) They are short and plump, about 3 to 4 inches in length and about an inch in diameter. Each hand has between 10-15 bananas. The flesh is soft yet firmer than that of the cavendish, moist, off-white and has tiny edible seeds.

It’s often grown around people’s houses because of its usefulness: the leaves are used as a wrap for food, the flowers and fruit are eaten and part of the trunk is eaten or used as animal feed.

We have simply sliced and dehydrated the kluay nam wah, nothing added. Once dehydrated, the klua nam wah slices have a crisp texture.
