The History Of Banana Ketchup
Filipino Banana Ketchup, also known as banana sauce, has a unique history that dates back to the 20th century. The product was created during World War II when there was a shortage of tomatoes, the main ingredient in traditional ketchup.
Filipinos turned to alternative ingredients to address this shortage, and bananas became a popular choice.
Maria Orosa, a Filipina food technologist, is often credited with introducing banana ketchup. Orosa was a pioneer in food technology in the Philippines and contributed significantly to the development of various food products. She experimented with different ingredients and formulations, creating a sweet and tangy condiment using mashed bananas as a base.
The original banana ketchup recipe included mashed bananas, sugar, vinegar, and spices. The result was a flavorful and colourful sauce that resembled traditional ketchup but had a distinct taste. The use of bananas addressed the shortage of tomatoes and allowed for a locally sourced and readily available ingredient.
After the war, banana ketchup became popular in the Philippines and a staple condiment in Filipino households. The iconic brand that emerged from this period is Mafran (now UFC Banana Ketchup), still widely recognized today. Over the years, variations of banana ketchup have been developed, including spicy versions and those with added ingredients like garlic.
Filipino banana ketchup has become more than just a tomato ketchup substitute; it is now a cultural symbol and an integral part of Filipino cuisine. Use as a dipping sauce, marinade, or ingredient in various Filipino dishes.
