The Tamil Nadu Banana Producer Company at Thottiyam has embarked upon producing banana biscuits.
The biscuit, yet another value-added product from the firm, is made of dried banana, dried drumstick leaves, ragi and millets. Packed in different sizes, biscuits in packets weighing 20 grams, 90 grams and 150 grams are being marketed.
‘We have arrived at this product after several experiments. First, we tried making the biscuit using maida and sugar. It did not meet our goal of producing a healthy diet so that we wanted to improve the quality further,” says A. Manikutti Subramanian, Managing Director of the company which has so far produced five value-added products.
“This is the sixth product and it has gone down well with the consumers,” says R. Dheenadalayan, working partner of the company. The company had earlier come out with banana fig, banana chocolate and banana powder. The company had set up a couple of solar dryers for drying bananas.
