Producer

Our Fairtrade bananas are grown by a small group of 6 producers who are part of Banelino, a cooperative group in a small region of the Dominican Republic. Being Fairtrade has helped Banelino set up education centres and medical clinics right on the farms. The guarantee of a market for their produce at a fair price has significantly improved the quality of lives of families directly involved in the banana plantations. Keeping their produce at a fair price has significantly improved the quality of lives of families directly involved in the banana plantations. When stormy weather prevails in the Dominican, we look to Fairtrade and organic growers in Peru and Mexico.

Ingredients & allergens

Abel & Cole handles celery, celeriac, peanuts and nuts on site. Due to our packing process and re-use of boxes there is a risk of cross-contamination from these, and all other allergens.

While we do everything we can to ensure the information on this page is correct, ingredients, nutritional and dietary information are subject to change. So along with the information on our website, we always recommend that you read each label carefully before enjoying your items.

Storage & prep

Bananas brown quickly once peeled unless tossed in citrus juices. In recipes without citrus juices you should prepare them last and add them just before cooking. If your bananas are delivered to you and are still slightly green, don't worry, as they will continue to ripen. Storing them with other fruit will cause the other fruit to ripen more quickly, so they are best stored separately. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
