What is your favorite snack during the day? I confess that I am so sugar craving in the afternoon and love to enjoy sweet treat of bakery and pastry for snack. But need to change it to fresh fruits that planted at home to ease my guilt of health. My quick and easy snack is my red banana. Red banana is also called as red Jamaican, Spanish red, red Dacca or red cavendish banana in some part of the world. Red banana is in the family of cavendish banana but sweeter with firm texture and shorter in size than typical cavendish. Very expensive in my country as we use this kind of banana for worship in some special religious ceremony such as housewarming ceremony. We are Asian and enjoy many kinds of banana. I plant various type of bananas including cultivated banana, cavendish and other local native banana around my home. Yes, I can not eat it all at once. Wrap unripe banana with newspaper and keep it in the refrigerator is the way that preserve them for longer storage life. #FoodPhotography

Oh I have never seen this kind of banana, we only have the yellow one, the local ones are medium size or short but we have other kind called Somalian it is big and long in size but not sweater than the local, but your red bananas are new to me, do they have the same taste as the regular ones? can you fry this kind?
In the Middle East, you can easily find in local market and supermarket in UAE. But cavendish banana is well marketing and advertising by big farm like Dole. So it is well known around the world than red banana. Actually red banana is exotic and super fruits with rich in antioxidant, vitamin C and B16, low calorie with high fiber. The taste of red banana is the best in term of firm texture and sweeter. But yellow banana or cavendish banana is pretty strong scent of its smell and fragrance that great for some type of baking such as banana cake.
I havent tried red banana but as what I have watched yesterday on youtube they feature those as exotic fruits. And they said the more darker the color of the fruit is the more antioxidants it has.
