Green bananas/ Matooke

Green Bananas (Matooke) – Premium Quality Cooking Bananas

Green bananas, commonly known as Matooke in East Africa, are a staple food crop and a rich source of energy. Unlike sweet dessert bananas, Matooke is harvested when green and is primarily used for cooking.

The bananas are firm, starchy, and slightly savory, making them ideal for steaming, boiling, mashing, or stewing. When cooked, they turn soft and take on a creamy, potato-like texture with a mild, earthy flavor.
