Pink or red bananas are rarely available in the market. It's skin will be either purple or red, pink mixture of colour. The flesh is cream or pinkish in colour. The red banana is usually small in size and will be bulky compared to yellow banana. It will have slightly rasberry taste. Otherwise it is like yellow banana fruit. Do you get red banana in your place? Have you eaten it? Do you like the taste of it?

Yes. It is available in our place but not regularly available. sometimes it is available. I have tasted it once. Though it tastes good, compared to the regular banana, i feel the sweetness is little low. But it is ok.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

You are right. The sweetness is little less in red banana. But I like the less sweet taste too.

We have those kinds of bananas here in our place but I really dont like it that much. I prefer eating the yellow ones cause they are sweeter. I also like eating banana split and getting a red banana is not right for it so I'll just have to stick with the yellow ones.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

You are right. Red bananas are less sweeter and I feel they are heavy for the stomach.

Hello Buchi!
I have not seen Red banana at least in my city (New Delhi). It is a
news to me that bananas are available in purple, red or pink colours.
I would love to taste it, if I get hold of it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

It will be available in big bazaars, and big markets. In Bangalore we have hopcoms shops by the Government. We get there too. Taste it whenever you get it.

Hi Buchi, I have seen red banana in the morning bazaar when I stayed in a small town before. I stayed in that hilly region for almost two years. The bananas looks unique in the their reddish-purple skins. I didn't buy any for I wondered whether there were as delicious as the ordinary banana.

Just now I took a brief look at the content about the red banana at wekepidia. I learn that the pinkish flesh of it is softer and sweeter than the ordinary yellow banana. Anyway there is no harm to have a taste of the red banana if I see any in the market next time. In a word, I still prefer to take the yellow banana which is not so sweet thumbup

Happy posting happy have a nice day


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Red banana has got it's own taste. Just for knowing the taste, try once. My friend used to search for red banana and buy it. She only told me that it has got many good qualities. Since it is not available freely, I buy it very rarely, whenever I get it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 211 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

lol I have the curiosity to see whether what is the different betwee the yellow and red banana. I would like to try out the taste of it if coming across any later. And I will take the photo of them to share with you here. The thing is, I haven't seen any in the local market here yet instead the morning market I have mentioned above wink rasp


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

There is certainly difference in the taste. Please try when you get and share your experience here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Buchi,

The red/pink banana is available in Kerala but I have never seen the same in Delhi. Here the shop keeper who brings things from Kerala selling this banana occasionally. I ate the same long before and hardly remember the taste now. In South there are different types of banana available, means different shapes, size etc. but in Delhi I have seen only one type.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Even DPK wrote he has not seen it in Delhi. In Bangalore, we get it in big markets, sometimes in hopcoms, which is run by the Government. I make it a point to buy it whenever I get it as it is rare to get them. I cut it into pieces, add coconut gratings and serve along with food items.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (9346)   ranked 211 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

lol Sree, we could hardly forget about whatever which is peculiar that we have come across before. So I think the taste of the red banana is so so only lah...therefore you can remember the unique color of its skin only rofl

Maybe it is available here in our country, but I haven't seen a banana that is red or pinkish in color. I don't know what it is, but I like to taste a kind of it.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

The colour of the banana will be a bit of pink and green and the flesh is little hard compared to other yellow banana. Please try when you get it.

I have tasted Red bananas. Its available in every samll / big fruit shops in Chennai. Its very good for health. Its a coolent. It cools our system. Not all will like the taste. I don't like it, my son loves it. Its got lot of nutrients and very good for kids. It comes in all sizes. WE had planted this variety in our home, after one reap, the tree died. Then we couldnt plant another.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Buchi_bulla (3529)   ranked 20 out of 2,535 in fruit  2 years ago

Yes Durgabala, even I noticed it. In Chennai it is available in many shops. But in Bangalore it is rare. It's taste is somewhat sticky in nature and many will not like it.
