You can find banana trees almost everywhere in the Philippines. Most often than not, you’ll see them on the streets, backyards, commercial spaces, and of course at banana farms and plantations. Banana trees in the Philippines are what lemon trees are in California. I guess that’s why the Philippines is one of the leading global exporters of bananas.
Because of this widespread availability, Filipinos get to enjoy a variety of this fruit. For example, we have lakatan (the bananas we’re all familiar with), senorita (super short yet plump, finger-like shaped bananas), latundan (a cross between lakatan and senorita), and saba (thick, large, and hearty bananas).

If you live outside the Philippines, you can still have access to saba bananas. Just check your neighborhood Asian grocery stores and Filipino grocery stores, specifically at the produce section.

Sweetened Bananas (minatamis Na Saging)
I made a batch of this when my two nephews/godsons, Andrei (9) and Jiro (7), were left to us one afternoon. It was their first time to have Minatamis na Saging. Like most typical kids, their initial reaction was, no, thank you when they saw the bananas.
I tried to convince Andrei to simply give it a try, just a small bite. After some emotional blackmailing, he gave in to his Ninang's request. Once he did, his reluctant face turned into one big smile. Well, convincing Jiro was no biggie after that as he would copy whatever his big brother does. In the end, they finished two servings each.
A traditional Filipino dessert or snack, 'Minatamis na Saging' directly translates to sweetened bananas. It is really easy to prepare using plantain bananas or locally known as Saba, a variety of plantain banana that can be cooked, ripe or unripe. When ripe, can also be eaten raw.
Minatamis Na Saba (filipino Bananas In Syrup)

And if you are feeling down, bananas could help make you feel happier as they contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to promote relaxation and improve mood.
It really is so easy to make. It involves making the caramel syrup by boiling the brown sugar in water. Then add the cut banana pieces and simmer until cooked.
If you are adding tapioca pearls then add it before turning the heat off. I usually also add a little vanilla extract and salt to my caramel syrup. It gives out a nice aroma and just a tiny hint of saltiness.

Saba has a very interesting taste and does not taste like other bananas. It is mildly sweet compared to other varieties that is enhanced by its equally mild tartness. It gets a firmer texture when cooked in syrup and cooled down that is quite surprising for the first-time Saba eaters.
I usually enjoy my Minatamis na Saging simply by adding milk and some crushed ice to it. This is what we call Saba con Yelo. You can also try it by adding vanilla ice cream instead.
You can also use it for a pie filling or chop it and make a Turon out of it. Although, I prefer using raw Saba for that.
