Red Banana is a distinctive dessert banana with thick reddish-purple skin and soft, sweet, creamy flesh tinted pink to orange. It is richer and slightly firmer than common bananas, with a hint of raspberry-like sweetness, and is valued both as a premium fruit and for its nutrition. The robust, fast-growing plant has bold paddle-shaped leaves and is grown across warm, humid parts of India, especially the south. Each plant produces one large bunch before being replaced by its suckers. Given rich soil, steady moisture, warmth and shelter from wind, Red Banana crops generously and makes a striking addition to home gardens.
