Grating Cassava
Grating green bananas can be a bit challenging since they are firmer and harder than ripe bananas. However, with a Grandma Ann's Electric Grater grating pounds of bananas is a cinch, the trick is peeling them.
Watch Brian grate an entire forty pound box of green bananas.

WHY TEXTURE MATTERS
Authentic Pasteles Texture — Without Hours of Hand Grating
Grandma Ann's grates green bananas, yautía, yuca/cassava, calabaza and plantains into the grated texture traditional masa depends on. It grates rather than blends, so you're not turning your ingredients into a smooth blender puree.
For Pasteles, Start With the Regular Blade
The Regular Grating Blade comes with every Grandma Ann's Electric Grater and is our preferred blade for traditional pasteles and alcapurrias masa.
The optional Fine Grating Blade creates a finer texture and can be useful for foods such as fresh coconut, but it can make cassava finer than we generally recommend for traditional pasteles masa.
SAVE THE HAND WORK
Minutes, Not Hours
Large family batches that once meant hand grating ingredient after ingredient can be prepared in minutes with Grandma Ann's.

How to Get the Perfect Grate
Simple technique. Authentic grated texture.
A Small Remnant Is Normal
A small remnant can remain because the pusher stops just above the grating drum for safety — especially with irregularly shaped foods. The Stack & Push technique helps minimize it.
