Buy Seeded Banana Fruit UK

Seeded bananas are now available in the UK — a rare and authentic taste of bananas as they grow naturally, complete with small edible seeds and creamy tropical pulp.

What are Seeded Bananas?

Unlike the familiar seedless Cavendish bananas, seeded bananas are closer to their wild ancestors. They feature small black or brown seeds embedded within the soft flesh, offering a more authentic experience of this iconic fruit.

Seeded bananas are smaller in size, with a slightly firmer bite and complex flavour — sweet, aromatic, and sometimes with subtle tangy notes. Their seeds are generally edible but can be removed for convenience.

For fruit lovers and adventurous foodies in the UK, this is a rare opportunity to try bananas as they were meant to be enjoyed.

Nutrition & Health Benefits

Seeded bananas provide the same nutritious profile as cultivated bananas, with the added bonus of being closer to their natural state:

• Potassium – supports normal blood pressure.

• Vitamin B6 – contributes to energy metabolism.

• Vitamin C – supports immune function.

• Fibre – aids digestion and promotes fullness.

• Antioxidants – found in seeds and peel.
