Shows how much energy the product has by comparing it to bananas.
One banana is about 20g of carbs, so this tells you how many bananas’ worth of energy you’re getting per serving.
A real-food endurance bar built around dates, butter, and dried banana, with a small amount of caramel chips for sweetness. Whole-food fuel for long sessions where you want something to chew on.
What the Racefood Banana & Caramel Farbar is
A 30g pressed-fruit-and-butter bar from Racefood, with dates as the primary ingredient (23%) and dried banana (10%) for texture and natural carb content. Caramel chips at 4.6% add sweetness and a small amount of fat. Each bar delivers around 18g of carbs and 476 kJ (114 kcal), with 4.5g of fat and a useful 106mg of sodium per serving.
This is the sweet, dessert-leaning Farbar in the range - higher sodium than the Date & Cranberry version because of the added caramel chips and salt.
When to use the Racefood Banana & Caramel Farbar
- Long training sessions over 90 minutes where you want something to chew
- Ultra-distance events where palate variety and savoury-sweet balance matters
- Pre-session fuel 15-30 minutes before starting
- Hiking, cycling, and adventure events where pocket-sized real food beats gels
How to use the Racefood Banana & Caramel Farbar
Eat one bar 15-30 minutes before a session, or every 30 minutes during longer efforts. At 18g of carbs per bar, you'd need roughly 3 per hour to hit 60g/hr - most athletes pair these with a drink mix or gels rather than relying on bars alone for carb intake.
Chew thoroughly and wash down with water or a drink mix to aid digestion during exercise.
