Red bananas - the new fruit of choice
April 25th, 2008 at 9:00 by Catherine Wilson
Here’s another addition to the mass of superfood that seems to turn up in our supermarkets every year - red bananas.
These strange fruits are generally smaller than normal bananas, and have a slight raspberry flavour, which actually sounds quite nice. The fruits are imported from Costa Rica and have a big following in the USA. They are also sometimes referred to as Jamaican bananas.
As with all bananas, these babies are packed with fibre and potassium, and score less than 100 calories per portion. Just like their yellow siblings, red bananas can be found all year-round. You can get yours from Morrison’s in the UK; choose a darker red or purple colour which indicates ripeness.
Whatever next - blue oranges?
