Live Superfoods Banana Bites

Absolutely delicious, intense banana flavor in these satisfyingly chewy banana bites. Made from air dried certified-USDA organic Ecuadorian bananas. Ideal for a snack on the go, lunch boxes, and homemade energy bars.

Bananas are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, potassium and manganese, and a very good source of vitamin B6.

Banana’s Health Benefits

Good for your heart and your nervous system: Bananas contain a high level of potassium - an essential ingredient that keeps your heart and nervous system in good shape. Potassium is essential for proper muscle contraction and plays an important role in muscle-influenced activities including normal rhythmic pumping of the heart, digestion, muscular movements and more.

Kidneys and bones, too: Potassium helps here as well. The recommended intake of potassium suppresses calcium excretion in the urine and minimizes the risk of kidney stones. For this reason it also minimizes the loss of calcium from the body, thereby reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

Blood building: Bananas are one of the highest sources of naturally available vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 helps the body to make hemoglobin - a crucial ingredient of your blood. B6 also plays an important role in converting tryptophan to serotonin. Vitamin B6 is also essential for antibody production and to maintain a healthy immune response. It also helps to convert carbohydrates to glucose, thereby maintaining proper blood sugar levels.

Good source of dietary fiber: A single serving (one medium-sized banana) contains 16% of the daily recommended dietary fiber intake for a normal adult, a substantial amount for a single serving of any food. Fiber improves laxation (smooth bowel movements). Fiber-rich diets have also been linked to lower risk of coronary heart disease and of Type-2 diabetes.

Mood boosting: Bananas contain tryptophan, one of the 20 amino acids which act as protein building blocks. Tryptophan also helps the body to produce serotonin - which has a calming effect on the brain (creates a stable mood) and acts as a mild sedative.

Good for kids: As if the above information wasn’t convincing enough, bananas are part of the BRAT diet, a diet many physicians and nurses recommend for children recovering from gastrointestinal problems, particularly diarrhea. BRAT stands for the different components that make up the diet: Bananas, Rice cereal, Applesauce, Toast. These are binding foods that make stools firmer.

Wow, these are delicious and I'm hooked on them. Great banana taste and texture. Not too sweet. I love them at about 10am with a cup of tea and a little handful of salted nuts (or at about 3:30pm). So satisfying. Perfect! (Posted on 4/9/12)

Really, really good dried bananas with amazing flavor. Perfect chewiness. I thought, "oh, they'll taste like the ones from Trader Joe's" but these are much better. I like that they're organic. (Posted on 1/17/12)
