Red bananas are a variety of banana with reddish-purple
skin. They are smaller and plumper than the common
Cavendish banana. When ripe, raw red bananas have a
flesh that is cream to light pink in color. They are also softer
and sweeter than the yellow Cavendish varieties, with a
slight raspberry flavor. Many red bananas are imported
from producers in Asia and South America. They are a
favorite in Central America but are sold throughout the
world.
