Brazilian Dwarf and Sabrosa Strawberry Jam

100% natural — 80 g of fruit per 100 g of product

A banana that tastes like a green apple: the most unexpected surprise to spread on bread.

Brazilian Dwarf and Sabrosa Strawberry Jam: Authenticity and Artisanal Flavor

Dwarf Brazilian is a Brazilian banana variety with a very short stem. It produces particularly sweet fruit with a flavor vaguely reminiscent of green apple: a fresh and slightly tart note, unexpected in a banana, makes this jam unlike any other. The pairing with Sabrosa strawberries provides the perfect balance, adding aroma and a hint of acidity that lengthens the finish and prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying. Eighty grams of fruit per hundred grams of product and just three ingredients on the label: two fruits and sugar, nothing else.
 
 
 

The roots of this jam are in the banana tree which has no trunk

The banana plant holds more than one surprise for those who encounter it for the first time: it's not a tree but a giant herb, the tallest in the world, and what appears to be a trunk is actually a pseudostem formed by tightly wrapped leaf sheaths. Dwarf varieties like the Dwarf Brazilian were bred specifically to contain this height: shorter plants are much better at resisting wind—the number one enemy of banana trees—are easier to harvest, and adapt to small spaces, which is why they're among the few plants that can be successfully grown outside of large tropical areas. Add to this the fact that each pseudostem bears fruit only once in its lifetime and is then replaced by suckers growing from the base, and you'll understand why the banana plant, despite being the most consumed fruit in the world, remains a plant full of exceptions.
 
 
 

Choosing this jam means taking care of yourself

Three ingredients, no preservatives, no coloring, no added flavorings, and no supporting pectin: the density comes solely from cooking and the banana pulp. With 80g of fruit per 100g of product, most of the sugars on the label are naturally present in the fruit. Bananas provide potassium and magnesium, minerals useful for muscle recovery and water balance, while strawberries contribute vitamin C and anthocyanins, the antioxidant pigments that determine its color. It's still a sweet treat, best enjoyed in moderation: but when you do, you're eating real fruit.
