Default Re: Red Bananas

Our local Albertson's and Ralphs almost always carry them. Often they were picked too early and never ripen properly. Look for very plump ones and wait for them to get a bit soft and show hints of lighter colors (like they were turning yellow under the red). They are very tasty. They are more aromatic than Cavendish and have a nice, dense texture. Don't buy skinny hard ones that haven't filled out -- it's a waste of money. Like others said, definitely a dessert banana.
