There are at least six Fe'i varieties in Pohnpei that are like a staple food in that Island, and are reportedly rich in Carotinoid. CValentine posted a link on a thread that she started called "Colored Bananas" that described these six Fe'i. Colored Bananas...

Chris(Rmplmnz) also has a thread on his trip to the South Pacific where he has tons of photos and describes the breakfast of Fe'i bananas! His new avatar is a photo of a cooked Fe'i banana. French Polynesia
