Mysore bananas, also called Pisang Keling, are small, thin-skinned bananas from India and Pakistan. They are known for a sweet-tart, candy-like flavor that many compare to strawberry shortcake. The plants are hardy, but the fruit's delicate skin means it bruises easily and needs careful handling. They suit shoppers who want a sweeter, more aromatic banana than the standard Cavendish and don't mind a shorter shelf life.
