One of the more unusual varieties of dessert bananas is the Manzano. It's one of the world's most popular fruits, this banana has been cultivated and enjoyed since ancient times.
A stubby, thick-skinned, golden yellow fruit that is commonly known as the "apple banana", this gourmet banana has a delicious, sweet taste with a hint of apple and strawberry. This short, plump, finger-sized variety will turn dark yellow when ripe. Eat one a day!
The Manzano Banana from Melissa’s is hand-selected for excellent quality. As is true with most bananas, the Manzano is harvested green and then allowed to ripen during shipping. Avoid bananas with split skins. Bananas with brown or black spotted peels only indicate ripeness, while the fruit itself remains unchanged. Store at room temperature. Once ripe, the Manzano may be refrigerated for a few days.
