red banana
Maroon tropical fruit
Red banana is a variety of banana with reddish-purple skin, smaller and plumper than the common yellow Cavendish.
The flesh is creamy white to pink with a slightly sweeter, raspberry-like flavor.
Red bananas are eaten fresh when fully ripe—the skin darkening to deep maroon—and are popular in Central America and Southeast Asia.
