Bananas

£2.75 / x6

Bananas chosen for their sweet, creamy flavour

Our bananas come from the pioneering plantations of Savid Dominicana: specialist banana growers who, under the expert eye of agronomist and founder Jetta ven den Berg, combine state-of-the-art technology with a profound respect for nature. Everyone gets a fair deal, with good working conditions and pay for farmers and workers alike. Imported by boat (never airfreighted), it takes four or five weeks for the bananas to travel from the plant to your fruit bowl – by which time they should be just ripe.

Savid Dominicana uses an irrigation system that's up to 50% more efficient than standard practice, saving huge amounts of water. Half of each farm's area is given over as protected land, to serve as natural habitats for local wildlife.
Care for people, as well as the planet, is vitally important. Savid Dominicana has long been certified Fairtrade, paying living wages to their staff, and providing pensions and health insurance for all.

How to prepare

Of course these organic bananas make a brilliant portable snack – nature’s packaging at its best. Don’t let overripe bananas go to waste; they mash best when their skins begin to speckle. Use in banana bread, muffins or cakes, or blended into smoothies.
