What is saba food?

Saba food is a type of traditional Filipino dish made from plantains that are cooked, fermented, and then preserved in a sweet syrup. The plantains used in saba food are different from regular bananas, as they are thicker and have a starchier texture.

Saba food is commonly eaten as a dessert or snack in the Philippines. The ripe plantains are often fried or boiled before being sweetened with sugar or honey. They can also be used in a variety of other dishes, such as turon (deep-fried spring rolls with saba and jackfruit), banana cue (sweetened banana skewers), and ginataang bilo-bilo (a sticky rice and sweet potato dessert).

Saba food is rich in carbohydrates and nutrients, making it a popular choice for a quick and delicious treat. It is also often enjoyed during special occasions and celebrations in the Philippines.
