Hi, Sheryl! @sherylneil The red banana is native to India (usually) or southeast Asia.

You can eat them, just as they are, but, if they are not ripe enough, they taste like chalk! if they are ripe enough to eat, they tend to have a thick, dark red peel and the inside is off-white and the flesh of the fruit is on the soft side. It has a sweet flavor and has a raspberry taste to it.

I would have to say that it is used more in baking than eating off the tree.

t is preferred as a baking variety for both desserts and semi-savory dishes. In dessert preparations, complimentary pairings include apples, stonefruit, berries such as strawberries and blueberries, citrus, lemongrass, cream, yogurt and mint. Within savory dishes, complimentary pairings include cream, chiles, pork, chicken, black beans, limes, mango, pineapple and nuts such as cashews and hazelnuts.

I hope this helps! I like them, but, they are not always available here in the United States, but, have had many opportunities to have them in South America.

Thank you so much for showing off your market in the UAE! So many wonderful fruits and veggies! And yes! I buy my plants at the nursery also. So much cheaper! Have a wonderful weekend!
