Banana flour is made from the starchy plantain. It is sometimes used for a food for invalids as it is starchy, filling and nutritious. It can be combined with regular flour when a starchy product is desired.

Commercially prepared banana flour is produced by freeze drying puréed banana. The flour is very fine and is very useful for its moisture absorbing and holding properties. It is a good gluten-free product and can be used to make pancakes, bread, scones and cakes moist, lighter with a more airy texture. When combining it with flour don't replace more than 1/4 of the total amount of flour with banana flour or the product will become a sticky paste.

Substitutions:

Place dried banana chips in a blender or food processor and blend until fine.

to my knowledge it should be unripe bananas,
its not any common banana, it should be
the thicker & bigger onces.

it is grated & then sun dry it.
then blend it to flour.

the banana used are the green ones

the procedure i remembered, but not really detailed, is like these

1. soak unripe bananas in a brine solution for minutes, i dunno the particular time
2. let it dry but see if the surrounding is clean, out of dirtyness
3. grind it using the blender or pound, by a mortar

this flour can be used with regular flour for desserts
