Too ripe to toss — spotty bananas rescued for banana jam
Our story

Nothing good
goes to waste.

Bananas are one of the most-wasted fruits on the planet — they bruise, ripen overnight, and grocery stores discard crates of them. Overripe is exactly right for jam. Second Bunch was built on that idea.

We source direct from local farms and markets within the week, rescue the spotty ones headed for the bin, and turn them into jam — no artificial preservatives, 40% less added sugar than traditional jam, and a portion of every jar donated back to the farms we source from.

"Finally a jam that tastes like something real. Not sweet like candy — actual banana flavor, which I didn't know I was missing."

★★★★★

"Bought it at the farmers market on a whim. Now I order the family jar on repeat. Banana & cinnamon on sourdough is a different category of morning."

James L. · Seattle, WA
★★★★★

"Got the mini 9-pack as a gift, regifted zero of them. The kraft tray is a display piece on my counter."
