Red Banana Tissue Cultured Fruit Plant

Red bananas (officially known as Musa acuminata 'Red Dacca') are a distinct group of banana varieties prized for their striking reddish-purple skin and sweet, berry-like flavor. While they are less common in Western supermarkets than the yellow Cavendish, they are a staple in Southeast Asia, East Africa, and Central America.

Physical Characteristics
Appearance: They have a tough, thick skin that ranges from maroon to dark purple when ripe.

Size: Generally smaller, shorter, and "plumper" than standard yellow bananas.

Flesh: The interior fruit is creamy to light pink in color.

Texture: Softer and denser than yellow bananas, often described as having a "custard-like" consistency.

Flavor Profile
Red bananas are notably sweeter than yellow varieties. Their taste is often described as a blend of traditional banana flavor with a subtle hint of raspberry or mango. Because of their high sugar content, they are frequently used in desserts.
