What are Tropical Red Bananas?

Red bananas are a unique variety of banana with reddish-purple skin and a soft, sweet flesh inside. Unlike the common yellow Cavendish banana, red bananas have a richer, creamier taste with hints of raspberry and mango.

Originating from tropical regions such as Ecuador, Costa Rica, and the Philippines, they are highly prized for their natural sweetness and stunning appearance. In many cultures, red bananas are considered a delicacy and symbol of prosperity.
