Tags: Cultivar (Cultivated Variety).
Saba banana is a triploid hybrid (ABB) banana cultivar originating from the Philippines. It is primarily a cooking banana though it can also be eaten raw. It is one of the most important banana varieties in Philippine cuisine. It is also sometimes known as the Cardaba banana though the latter name may be more correctly applied to a very similar cultivar also classified within the Saba subgroup.
