Pure green banana

Keeping up with current and future demand in grain-free pet food, IQI is continuously exploring new and sustainable sources of grain-free starch for pets. This is how we recently added green banana from the Philippines to our ingredient portfolio. These 100% fresh yet unripe fruits are an upcycled side stream from harvests for human consumption. Instead of being discarded as waste, the green bananas are washed, sliced, pulverized and sieved – resulting in beige to light brown ‘whole green banana powder’ which is packed as an ingredient for further processing.
