Baking banana bread with kedushat shevi'it bananas
Question
Can I bake banana bread with kedushat shivi'it bananas? Since we are not supposed to use the fruit in an “unusual” way, I wasn’t sure if baking is considered “unusual “?
Answer
Rabbi Moshe Bloom
Yes, baking banana bread is considered a conventional way of processing bananas today, so it is permitted. The banana bread will have kedushat shevi'it.
