Red bananas are a type of banana with a reddish-purple skin, smaller and plumper than the common Cavendish banana. They are exported by producers in East Africa, Asia, South America, and the United Arab Emirates, and are popular in Central America and India for their unique flavor and supposed aphrodisiac properties. When ripe, raw red bananas have a flesh that is cream to light pink in color, and are softer and sweeter than yellow bananas, with some varieties having a slight raspberry or earthy flavor.

Description

Red bananas should have a deep red or maroon rind when ripe, and are best eaten when unbruised and slightly soft. This variety contains more beta carotene and vitamin C than yellow bananas, as well as potassium and iron. The redder the fruit, the more carotene and the higher the vitamin C level. As with yellow bananas, red bananas will ripen in a few days at room temperature and are best stored outside from refrigeration.

Compared with the common Cavendish banana, red bananas tend to be smaller, have a slightly thicker skin, and a sweeter taste, but have a longer shelf life than yellow bananas. They are also more expensive, costing about 50% more per pound due to their smaller supply.

Uses

Red bananas can be eaten in the same way as yellow bananas, by peeling the fruit before eating. They are frequently eaten raw, whole or chopped, and added to desserts and fruit salads, but can also be baked, fried, and toasted. Red bananas are also commonly sold dried in stores.
