In what will be music to the ears of banana cultivators, a Gujarat based agriculture university has successfully converted parts of the fruit's plant, which are usually thrown away as waste, into highly useful products, including an edible candy with nutritional values. Under a project, value chain, on utilisation of banana pseudostem for fiber and other value added products', Navsari Agriculture University (NAU) professors have developed edible candy high in fiber and nutrition made out of central core of plant pseudostem. The other products include fiber for textile and paper industry and organic liquid fertiliser, which have also been developed under the project and aims for efficient use of each and every component of banana plant. Farmers would be the ultimate beneficiaries as banana is grown in large quantity in Gujarat.
