Going Bananas Banana Ketchup

Sweet and tangy banana ketchup for burgers, BBQ and glazing

A delicious Filipino twist on everyday ketchup.

Going Bananas is a Filipino-inspired banana ketchup made in New Zealand with 20% real banana. It brings fruity sweetness, tangy brightness and savoury depth to familiar meals, with a balanced flavour that works well beyond the usual tomato ketchup.

Enjoy it with burgers, fries, fried chicken and Filipino spaghetti, or use it as a dipping sauce, sandwich spread or glaze for your next barbecue.

What can I use banana ketchup for?

• Burgers and sandwiches: Spread on buns or add a spoonful to your favourite filling.

• Fries and loaded wedges: Serve as a sweet and tangy dipping sauce.

• Barbecue glazing: Brush over chicken, ribs, sausages, tofu or vegetables towards the end of cooking.

• Wings and fried chicken: Serve on the side or use in a glaze.

• Quick sauces: Stir into marinades, pasta sauces or a barbecue sauce recipe.

Does banana ketchup taste like dessert?

Going Bananas is a savoury condiment with fruity sweetness and a tangy finish. Banana gives it character and body, while the balanced seasoning makes it at home alongside burgers, grilled foods and everyday meals.

Pairs well with

Going Bananas and Banana on Fire are two sides of the same Filipino banana sauce story. Where Going Bananas is sweet, tangy and family friendly, Banana on Fire layers chilli heat onto that same banana fruitiness for a hotter finish. They work beautifully served together as a sweet and spicy dipping duo. Or pick up the Sauce Bundle to try both for less than buying them separately.

Each bottle stays fresh for up to 4 weeks once opened, and 12 months unopened. Refrigerate after opening.
