Minatamis na saging (literally "sweetened banana")
pandan leaf or vanilla extract. Other ingredients can also be added like sweet potato, sago,[3] or other fruits like jackfruit. It can be eaten on its own or added as an ingredient to other desserts (notably for halo-halo). Adding the dessert over milk and shaved ice also results in another dessert known as saba con yelo (also sabá con hielo in Spanish).[4][5][6][7]
The dish can also be cooked with coconut milk instead of water, which is differentiated as ginataang saba.[8]
