Yummy....I like it so much very delicious.
I like my bananas on the green side. Fully yellow makes them too sweet for me.
Looks Yum. As a Vegetarian, it is quite a regular staple food when I am traveling out of Country. I like in all colors and forms. Thanks for sharing
How red is different from yellow one in terms of taste?
I always thought they were pretty much the same, but the aroma of some gives the impression that they are actually sweeter. The red ones may be white, orange or even pinkish inside. I believe the amount of beta carotene causes this. I even had a variegated one (even the 'fingers' were variegated), but it tasted pretty much the same. The biggest difference I noted was the texture - some were quite creamy, and by comparison the typical store-bought ones appear almost 'mealy' and dry.
Here is a variegated one.

Interesting, Yug. Never seen one before.

I meant the big green ones that never become yellow, Harvey. That green veriety is quite fragrant and very sweet, making it a favorite ingredient in banana cakes, much as green apples are often used in apple pies.

hELLO Svetlana. There are many yellow varieties and they are quite a varied lot. The red's texture is not as fine as, say, the yellow "tundan" which is quite creamy. The red has a lighter texture. It has a mild sweet flavor too, less sweet than all of the different yellows, but still sweet.
Nice Pic Angel-give me a bunch of Lacatan bananas any day-the best.
