Product Description
Organic chewy dehydrated banana bites covered in dark chocolate. Our bananas are grown in soil alive with nutrients and free of chemicals the way nature intended. Our bananas are slowly dehydrated leaving behind a naturally sweet chewy banana bite. This slow drying process naturally preserves the bananas leaving our product free of preservatives and additives. We then cover the bananas in 54% organic cocoa chocolate. Our chocolate banana bites are organic, non-GMO, gluten free, kosher, vegetarian, high in fiber and potassium. Shelf life of 18 months.
From the Manufacturer
Upwards of 20% of the bananas that they grown are wasted because the bananas aren’t “perfect” for export. The crazy part is that they still look perfect. But if they are a day too ripe or the wrong size, they won’t make it on the boat for export. That’s what inspired us to create tasty banana snacks instead of letting them go to waste.
Barnana is a certified B-Corp. That means that we meet the rigorous standards of social and environmental sustainability, accountability and transparency. All the products that we create are USDA Certified Organic because we don’t believe in pesticides. The products that we make are also Non-GMO Project Verified because we believe in transparency. Doing the right thing isn’t that hard.
We are the brand synonymous with bananas. Yeah, you may have guessed it. But why “Barnana”? Great question! That’s because we believe that the banana is mother nature’s original energy bar. We’ve made ’em even more convenient and flavorful.
We are on a mission to end food waste on organic banana farms by upcycling the bananas that used to go to waste. When “imperfect” bananas have scuffs, are a little too ripe, or aren’t the perfect size – they are typically rejected for export. We take these delicious bananas and turn them into snacks. Pretty cool, huh?
Packed full of potassium! Whether you’re about to go for a run, got done lifting weights or you just need a healthy snack for your daily adventure – we got you. Cramping sucks, but you know what doesn’t? Eating some tasty Barnana.
There’s no telling where you’ll find yourself next.

Organic Banana Deliciousness
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
When Caue was a kid, his dad dehydrated bananas in their back yard in Southern Brazil. At the end of 2012 – Caue, Nik and Matt came together with the goal of creating the brand synonymous with banana-based products, Barnana. When we started the journey of becoming the first and only banana brand, we discovered one of the dirty secrets of the industry. That is, roughly 20% of all the bananas that are grown go to waste before ever leaving the farm. That is what propelled us into upcycling these bananas by making tasty snacks.
