Premium Banana Flour & Banana Powder Products
Gluten-free green banana flour, instant banana powder, and baked goods from our Bushenyi factory — milled, baked, and packaged to international quality standards.
Tooke Raw Green Banana Flour
Raw Tooke Flour is a 100% natural, gluten-free banana flour milled from premium Ugandan matooke. This green banana flour serves as a superior alternative to wheat flour and plantain flour, ideal for baking bread, cakes, chapattis, and biscuits. Also known as banana powder in some markets, our matooke flour retains the full nutritional profile of fresh green bananas.
Why Tooke Flour Stands Out
- Over 70% resistant starch (RS) content — among the highest of any natural flour
- Virtually gluten-free — safe for gluten-sensitive consumers
- Qualifies as a slow digestive starch (SDS above 20%), supporting steady energy release
- When modified: SDS rises above 40% and RS remains above 30%
- Proven confectionery ingredient with high-quality rheology, texture, and sensory attributes
Through BIRDC's R&D, green banana flour has been viably positioned as an ingredient in the confectioneries market.
- Gluten-free — meets the needs of health-conscious consumers
- Unique starch properties — a critical ingredient for premium non-wheat bakery products globally
- Long shelf life compared to traditional flours like corn or wheat
- Free of fat, sugar, and cholesterol
- Contains potassium and serotonin — a natural feel-good effect
- Certified by UNBS, ISO and Halaal
Tooke Instant Banana Powder
