Clear banana juice is difficult to produce because pulping ripe bananas produces a highly viscous puree. This innovation mashes bananas mechanically without the addition of enzymes or extraction aids to create clear banana juice. It mirrors the traditional process of kneading a mixture of ripe banana and grass or fibres until the juice oozes out from the pulp. This makes juice-producing banana varieties, which fetch low prices and are being phased out, into a more valuable product.
