It was created during the WWII when there was a shortage of tomatoes, but an abundance of bananas. The resulting ketchup has a sweet and tangy flavor, with a hint of spice, similar to traditional tomato ketchup, but with a unique twist. The color of banana ketchup can range from yellowish-brown to red, a later often achieved by adding food coloring to mimic the appearance of tomato ketchup. It's commonly used in Filipino cuisines, served with fried chicken, hot dogs, burgers, and as a dip or marinade. Its versatility and distinct taste make it stable in many Filipino households.
