Unripe Banana Flour — known as Kachcha Kela in Hindi, Vazhakkai in Tamil, Arati Kayi in Telugu, Vazhakka in Malayalam, Kele in Marathi, and Kanchkela in Bengali (Musa acuminata)

Unripe Banana Flour (Musa acuminata) is a dried and milled flour from raw green banana, retaining the characteristic resistant starch (RS-II) and banana polyphenol content prized in low-glycaemic and gluten-free food formulation. The neutral-flavoured flour suits bakery, functional food, and infant-nutrition applications requiring a natural resistant-starch ingredient.
