Why Choose J. Hungerford Smith Banana Syrup?
Vibrant "Banana Split" Flavor
Unlike thin specialty syrups, JHS is designed specifically for milkshakes. It captures the authentic, sweet "confectionery" banana profile that made the American soda fountain famous.
Dairy-Optimized Stability
This syrup is engineered to integrate instantly with milk and ice cream. It will not curdle your base or separate in the blender, ensuring a smooth, consistent drink every time.
Superior Operational Yield
The high-concentration formula means you use less syrup to achieve a bold flavor. A single gallon can flavor upwards of 128 standard milkshakes, maximizing your ROI.
Vibrant Visual Consistency
JHS provides a consistent, classic yellow color that visually cues "Banana" to your customers. This is essential for creating high-impact, Instagram-worthy milkshakes and sodas.
Multi-Purpose Versatility
While a legend in milkshakes, this syrup is highly soluble in sparkling water for Italian sodas or can be used as a flavor-booster in banana bread and pancake batters.

Frequently Asked Questions — J. Hungerford Smith Banana Syrup
Where can I buy J. Hungerford Smith Banana Syrup in Canada?
You can purchase professional 1 Gallon jugs at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to diners, cafes, and restaurants across Western Canada.
Is this syrup suitable for making "Banana Milk"?
Yes. Simply mix 1-2 oz. with cold milk for an instant, creamy banana milk beverage that is a favorite for children’s menus.
Does this syrup need to be refrigerated after opening?
While high in sugar, we recommend storing the opened jug in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not strictly required but can extend the peak flavor profile in warm environments.
Can I use a pump with this bottle?
Absolutely. This jug is designed to fit standard industrial 1-gallon pumps (available separately), allowing for 1 oz. or 0.5 oz. calibrated dosing.
Is this product Gluten-Free?
While JHS syrups are typically formulated without gluten-containing ingredients, always refer to the specific batch label for the most current allergen and ingredient certifications.
What is the difference between this and "Banana Puree"?
A puree contains fruit solids and pulp, which can be thick and perishable. This is a fountain syrup—it is smooth, highly soluble, and shelf-stable, making it easier to use in sodas and milkshakes.
How many milkshakes can I make with one gallon?
If using the standard 1 oz. dosage, one 128 oz. (1 Gallon) jug will yield 128 milkshakes. This makes it a highly cost-effective choice for high-volume service.
Can I use this for flavoring hot coffee?
While primarily designed for cold fountain drinks, it can be used in coffee. However, we recommend Fabbri flavoring sauces for a richer specialty coffee integration.
Does it contain real bananas?
This syrup utilizes a blend of natural and artificial flavors to achieve the classic, vibrant "banana" taste that is stable in fountain and soda applications.
Why buy from a Calgary-based supplier like ChickenPieces.com?
Ordering locally ensures you pay in CAD, avoid surprise border duties, and receive your stock in 2-5 business days—crucial for maintaining consistent inventory in Western Canada.
