Red bananas and baby bananas
Ecuadro
Arrival of delivery: March
Order until: 02.02.2025
We have 3.5 kilos each of fresh baby bananas from the Caluma variety and red bananas from the Cavendish Musa variety. Both are rare in Europe, with red bananas being particularly hard to find in stores.
The baby bananas grow to around 10 centimeters in length and taste sweeter than their larger relatives. The red bananas have a flavor similar to yellow bananas but with a bit more character.
We source both varieties from ten family farmers who cultivate the fruit in mixed farming systems alongside other banana varieties and citrus fruits. The farmers grow the bananas naturally, without pesticides, and are currently transitioning to organic farming.
Both banana varieties arrive unripe and are ripened in a controlled manner. The red bananas, in particular, show almost no color change as they ripen. You can determine the degree of ripeness by gently pressing the fruit. The softer the fruit, the riper and sweeter it is.
We are importing the red bananas for the first time and are excited to hear your feedback!
