Introduction: Secret Potential of Banana Fiber

What is Banana Fiber?
Banana fiber, also known as banana stem fiber, is extracted from the pseudostems of banana plants. A Banana Plant usually has a use of each and every part of the plant except the stem. Here is where we come in and convert the discarded banana stems after the fruit harvest and weave the fibers extracted here into plant-based textile. The process involves several steps:
Harvesting: The pseudostems are cut down and stripped of their outer layers.Extraction: The inner fibers are separated from the plant’s core.
Processing: The fibers are washed, dried, and spun into yarn.
