There was a time when bananas were a very rare and expensive commodity, especially when they were imported to places where they could not be grown. Today it is not like that, bananas are so popular that we are so bored that we don’t even want to eat them.

But have you ever seen a blue banana?

If you think this is a Photoshop product, you are wrong. The blue banana is real, and will be the thing to bring this fruit back to its original position centuries ago.

This type of banana is called “java green banana” , and has a very characteristic silver-blue color when unripe thanks to a layer of wax covering the banana peel. Not only does the appearance of bananas look special, the taste of bananas is also very delicious.

When peeled and eaten like regular bananas, many people say they taste like vanilla, so this type of banana is also known as “ice cream bananas” . In addition, they can also be used to make smoothies, or you just need to throw one in the freezer and immediately have a super delicious natural ice cream.

Blue banana is a native species in Australia, Hawaii and some Asian territories, but in limited quantities. Even the sales volume is the same, either you have to go to… Hawaii to buy, or go to a distribution company but you have to buy in bulk, not retail.

However, in recent years, things are gradually changing, thanks to the popularity of technology and the Internet. Currently, a green retail company is offering this green banana variety on Amazon, with a price of only about $30. However, like other banana varieties, the blue banana tree itself is quite tall, with a height of up to 5m, so it needs a large enough space to accommodate it.
