It would be too good to be true. Both in color and taste, there is something to clarify about these bananas.
When a bright blue banana comes that means she… it’s green.
In the phase when it is not yet ideal for taste, Blue Java’s peel-also known as Ney Mannan in India, Java Blue, Vata and Pata on the Fiji and “ice cream banana” islands in Hawaii and Florida-has a blue-green tone that eventually fades for the usual yellow as she matures. And the blue is not even from the fruit: it is due to the thick layer of cera present in the shell.
O Sabor has also been romanticized on social networks. For its most creamy and soft texture than the usual banana, it is compared to a vanilla ice cream, but will have a much more subtle flavor, similar to banana, It admits to a farmer who sells the variety of fashion.
Blue banana is one of over 1000 bananas varieties in this world. The most popular and the only one that most people find in supermarkets and grocery stores is the cavendish -The variety to which it belongs to Madeira Banana (Maa acuminata cavendish) and the long, yellow and slightly curved canary, also known as water banana.
Cavendish almost all world exports of bananas. Came to replace Gros Michel, decimated by Panama disease In the mid-1950s, but Mal-do-Pamama is now ending it as well: it affects all banana producing regions around the world that destroys whole plantations to an alarming rhythm.
With cavendish on extinction, and at a time when producers are still looking for tougher banana types, Blue Java, currently grown in Southeast Asian, Hawaii and Australia outbreaks, is a potential candidate. However, there are still no studies on your resistance and your soft texture worries, for transport reasons and expiration date. It is also unknown how the world market would respond to such a drastic change in the appearance of the banana “army”, although those who cross with the blue banana seem to fall in love with social networks.
But it may be that genetics first reaches the gold star: the genetically modified banana That does not darkening has already been approved for sale in countries such as Philippines, Colombia, Honduras, the US and Canada.
