Banana ketchup was born out of necessity from the brilliant mind of chemist Maria Ylagan Orosa<\/a>. She wanted the Phillippines to be a sustainable nation. Maria Orosa took her expert-level chemistry knowledge and used it to fight colonial control and foreign imports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her credits are immence and formidable. They include smuggling food into WW2 prison camps<\/a>, boosting the Philippine\u2019s food supply while promoting the use of indigenous ingredients, exporting canned goods and creating 700 economy-boosting recipes<\/a>. Many people still enjoy these recipes on a daily basis, in and out of the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One such recipe was banana ketchup. Unlike tomatoes, bananas are plentiful in the Philippines. Using the resources available, Maria Orosa created a mixture of mashed saba bananas, brown sugar, vinegar, and spices for a condiment that did not need to be imported. Today, banana ketchup is popular as ever and gaining traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s a good reason for the name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
