I was at the Kroger off NY and WLH today when my 4 year old pointed out these dark colored bananas. She was asking me about them and we read they were red bananas. A manager was walking through the produce section and heard us talking. He snapped on off and invited us to try one. They didn't taste like a regular banana, but I thought that was cool. A shout out to the great service!! 4951

I've never noticed red bananas but my husband does most of the grocery shopping.  I'll have to give them a try. 4951

Wow, if I see some new fruit I have not had, I have to buy it.Maybe 2/3 of them are not worth it (to me) but you get those ones that make up for it.That is I found out about Monstera deliciosa and golden kiwi (so much better than the green ones), and a few others, to include red banana's, and finger or dwarf banana's which are dang good also. 4951

I noticed the red bananas before too and wondered what the deal was with them.  Perhaps I'll have to try them sometime.  Something different for sure! 4951

With some of the other varieties of bananas, you have to let them sit longer than normal we are used to Cavendish variety of yellow banana.If you ever get a chance at a Blue Java, also known as as the Ice Cream banana, you won't regret it. 4951

Here's some facts:
What Kind Of Fruit Is The Red Banana?
Some people have heard or tried a red banana, which is sweeter than the regular yellow banana which is on your daily menu.Each of us is eager to try and taste new fruit, so maybe it is time to make a change and choose and buy red bananas this time.
The fruit of red bananas is similar to the fruit of yellow bananas, but red bananas taste like as if you eat banana and raspberries at the same time. Red bananas come from Costa Rica and are a favorite in Central America, Mexico and in some areas in Australia.
Red bananas have a distinctive red to purple skin, rather than the more conventional yellow bananas and are usually smaller than regular yellow bananas. This fruit has soft and creamy texture in cream to slightly pink color. The color comes from the beta-carotene red bananas contain, and the aroma reminds of sweet strawberries.
Red bananas can be consumed when their skin starts getting dark chestnut-red color and few brown spots. It is better not to consume the fruit if it is too soft and has intense flavor, because of the fermentation process which causes loss of enzymes and development of some dangerous bacteria.
 
Red Banana Nutrition Facts & Health Benefits
This fruit has high nutritional and calorific value, containing large amounts of potassium, Vitamin C and beta-carotene.Medium sized fruits contain 400 mg of potassium, which covers body’s daily needs of this mineral and electrolytes. The potassium in red bananas is necessary for proper function of the heart muscle and the digestive system.
Except for being delicious, red bananas are rich in Vitamin C as well. One red banana is enough to cover 15 % of the body’s daily needs of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which not only protects the body from diseases, but it also protects the organism against free radicals, meaning it reduces the risk of heart diseases and some cancers.
Red bananas are also rich in fiber, and one red banana is covers 16% of the body’s daily needs of dietary fiber. The fiber red bananas contain helps reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes Type 2. This fruit also contains large amount of Vitamin B6, a single red banana provides even 20% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin D, and supports the metabolism of proteins and red blood cells.

They do carry a nice different variety of fruit...I like that they also carry Pomelo ( en.wikipedia.org/wik i/Pomelo ), which is kind of a grapefruit but without the sourness... 4951

@angelpie: An older hispanic guy with a big belly?If so the guys name is Carlos, really nice guy he's been there for a long time. I worked for him when I was 16 or 17 and we called him Crazy Carlos because he could never remember any of his employees names so he gave eveyone a nickname.
