Our take on the Fresh Red Banana
Del Monte red bananas are a short, thick-skinned variety with reddish-maroon peel and pale salmon flesh. They taste sweeter and slightly more aromatic than the common yellow Cavendish, with a soft, creamy texture when ripe. They suit snacking, smoothies and baking, and they ripen faster than yellow bananas, so they are best eaten soon after they arrive.
