Red bananas anyone?

The latest thing in British supermarkets are now red bananas, yes red. The fruit has a sweet slightly raspberry flavour and creamy white pink flesh and is now for the first time been imported to Britain.

Grown more slowly than their yellow counterparts, the red banana plant takes 10 months to fruit and six months to mature with fruit taking a further five days to ripen.

After seeing some pictures of red bananas I actually don't think they look that very taste, but then on the other hand I like my bananas quite unripe. Very ripe ones are only for baking.
