Fresh Elaichi Banana (Yelakki / Baby Banana)

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your premier supplier of India's sweetest secret-the Elaichi Banana. Small in size but massive in flavor, this variety is a favorite across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.

Unlike the regular large Cavendish banana, the Elaichi Banana (also known as Yelakki or Ney Poovan) is slender, thin-skinned, and packed with a dense, creamy flesh that tastes distinctly like vanilla and honey. It gets its name "Elaichi" (Cardamom) not because it contains cardamom, but because of its delightful, fragrant aroma.

Why Choose Our Elaichi Bananas?

The "Spotless" Grade

Export-quality Elaichi bananas must be bright yellow and spotless.

Selection: We source from premium plantations where fruit bunches are covered (bagged) to protect the skin from scratches and sun damage.

Hands Packing: We pack in "Hands" (clusters), not loose fingers, ensuring the crown is intact for better preservation.

Superior Shelf Life

Despite being small, the Elaichi variety has a surprisingly good shelf life compared to other local varieties if harvested at the right maturity.

Harvesting: We harvest at the "75-80% Maturity" stage (Green) for sea shipments, allowing it to ripen perfectly by the time it reaches your warehouse.

Intensely Sweet Taste

Brix Level: Elaichi bananas have a much higher sugar content (Brix 25+) compared to standard bananas.

Texture: The flesh is firm and powdery, not mushy.

Nutritional Powerhouse

Don't let the size fool you.

Instant Energy: Higher calorie density than regular bananas.

Potassium Rich: Excellent for heart health and blood pressure.

Kids' Favorite: The perfect "Lunchbox Size" for children.
