The banana is consumed extensively throughout the tropics, where it is grown, and valued throughout the world for its flavor and nutritional value. Alexander the Great saw bananas on his expedition to India and they were brought to the Western Hemisphere soon after the discovery of the Americas. Though most commonly eaten fresh, bananas are also fried, mashed, chilled in pies and puddings, and used to flavor muffins, cakes and breads. Faerie's unique flavor powders are alcohol-free alternatives to extracts that can be substituted one-for-one in place of extracts in any recipe. They are especially suited for flavoring chocolate and candy. Our goal is to produce the truest flavors possible. When possible we use natural flavor ingredients. We also use top-quality artificial flavors when natural ingredients do not have sufficient flavor strength or do not maintain true flavor over time.
