Make banana flour with an explicit raw material and process specification.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional green-banana flour batch: sixty 500 g packs, thirty kg accepted flour, from 140 kg whole green cooking bananas. Variety, ripeness and peel policy are buyer/technologist-approved; this example is peeled pulp flour, not banana-peel flour. Recovery is fictional and no resistant-starch, diabetic or gluten-free benefit is claimed. Safe drying/milling and shelf-life require qualified validation.
