Red
bananas, also known as Red Dacca 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.
