So what does Ba's Nanas mean?

Vietnamese English

ba

Sounds like "bah"

dad

Noun. The guy with too many bananas.

In Vietnamese, ba means dad. So Ba's Nanas is exactly what it sounds like: Dad's Bananas.

My dad grows too many bananas.

He's been an entrepreneur his whole life, and growing fruit is his passion. The problem: more bananas than anyone can sell. So we're bottling them.

Too many, and too imperfect

Our farm doesn't use chemicals, so a lot of the fruit comes out imperfect, and imperfect fruit can't be sold. Americans throw away five billion bananas a year for that exact reason.

Waste into value

My dad owns an environmental science company that turns fruit waste into organic fertilizer. He taught me to get more out of produce, not let it rot.

The hardest fruit to juice

Press a banana and you get paste, not liquid. Only two companies in the US make it commercially, and that's the whole reason banana water is rare.

Questions

What is Ba's Nanas?

Ba's Nanas is 100% banana water made from imperfect fruit grown on a family farm. One ingredient, no added sugar and no preservatives, and it keeps for over a year at room temperature.

Can I buy Ba's Nanas yet?

Not yet. The product is pre-launch and the presale opens later in 2026. The email list on this page is the way to hear when it does.

What is banana water?

Banana water is a drink made from whole bananas and water with nothing added. The fruit is broken down with food-grade enzymes, pressed and filtered, leaving a thin, lightly sweet liquid that carries the banana's potassium without added sugar.

Why is banana water hard to make?

Bananas are roughly 20 to 25 percent starch, so pressing one gives you paste rather than juice. An enzymatic step is needed to break the starch down before the liquid can be separated, and only a couple of companies in the US run that process at commercial scale.
