These small size bananas wear a thin, bright yellow signature peel . Baby bananas have a creamy texture and once ripe their flavor is rich and sweet with vanilla and caramel undertones.
Baby bananas are a fresh eating banana and can be used as a dessert banana as well. Their sweetness lends to many recipes in various applications. These bananas can be a principle ingredient in smoothies, baby food, pudding, cakes, muffins, bread, cookies, ice cream and tarts.
Bananas are picked green and ripen at room temperature. Refrigerating them not only causes the skin to darken, it slows down or stops ripening. So, it is best to keep them out of the fridge until they are fully ripened. At that point refrigerating them will help keep them from becoming over ripe.
