I love finding new produce to try. When my 3 year old and I were out doing our weekly grocery shopping, we happened across these red bananas, the likes of which I had never seen before. They were the same price as the yellow bananas, and my three year old was willing, so I decided to give them a try. They were creamy and sweet with a slightly pink fruit. They are firm enough to pack in lunches also. These were marketed by Dole. Give them a try if you find them, they were worth it!
How cool, I am always looking for unique new products, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love new things like this. Thanks for bringing them to our attention. I miss the tiny finger bananas we used to grow in our yard in the islands. I've never seen them in the states but I don't live in "gourmet" country here in the mountains. So keep your eye out for them. Your son would like they because they are small and look just like fingers.

I also love to explore new produce - and I can tell you I have had challenging surprises sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI have seen red bananas in South America, but they are starchy and they cook them. Glad you had a good suprise!
Those look very cool, kinda like plantains.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't think I have seen these before!

ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen red bananas before. How interesting. I noticed they call them Jamaican bananas, but they are grown in Central America. I've never seen them on my trips to Jamaica. I guess that is why, unless the grow in another part of the island along with in CA.
