mskitty38583 · 03-15-2008, 04:58 PM

white nanas, that is so wild. i love it. are they avaliable in the u.s.?

newflemmli · 03-15-2008, 05:11 PM

the thai collector just wasn't able to translate the specia into good latin words.

It is NOT Ice Cream!!!!!
So they French seller is wrong too.

Ice Cream seems to come from Texas and not from Thailand.

Musa Namwah var. INARUFUFU
ist the right name.

Ice Cream plants and fruits are different! --> I love them.

momoese · 03-15-2008, 05:32 PM

I posted the picture to a Thai language message board so maybe someone can translate it.

momoese · 03-16-2008, 01:54 AM

Here is the reply from the Thai language message board. #2 is the white/blue banana. #4 is interesting as well! The question marks are Thai letters/symbols that this board apparently doesn't support?

"interesting set of bananas you have there. these bananas aren't commonly found in thailand.
from left to right.
1.?????????? (gluai nom mii) - rice noodle banana (can also translate as bear milk banana).
2.(the one you were interested in) ???????????????????? (gluai nam waa nuan jan) - small cultivated banana, light-coloured.
3. ???????? (gluai naak) - metallic-coloured banana.
4. ??????????????? (gluai pa-maa heek kuk) - (strange name here) burmese escaped from jail banana.
i hope this is helpful.
simon."

gluai nam waa nuan jan --> latin: Musa Namwah var. I.

modenacart · 03-16-2008, 10:50 AM

gluai nam waa nuan jan = Gauy Namwah?

Yes, they are what we call 'Ice Cream' (there are many different names for the same cultivars around the world), which is a commonly available variety. For any variety, there are generally many different forms that vary from place to place, but they are essentially all the same or very similar.

Namwa is a namesake and former region of Burma. The Thai name Kluay Namwa is phonetically quite old and thought to mean Banana from Burma. The name "gluai nam waa nuan jan" might refer to one of many sports of this banana. In Thai, "nuan" means "blessed". It has also happened that banana plants were imported from Burma to India, and then later to Thailand where the Thai people adopted the Hindu name for the banana in their own language. So just to make it interesting, the name "Kluay Namwa Hom" might refer to a very fragrant sport of the original Kluay Namwa, or a very different fragrant banana from Burma. Researchers use genotype + phenotype analysis to try and sort this out. In the meantime, you can be assured they are yummy bananas!

Ice cream or blue java is what they are. The flesh is white. the peel is a light blue. Or has a slight blue hue to it. Its called ice cream because of the vanilla ice cream taste. And they do taste like vanilla ice cream. Very good.Like gabe said the ones in the pic are a variety of blue java.Different region, slightly different color and or taste, but all the same.

I'm with you BigDog!

I can't wait 'til mine blooms! It is starting to leafout for spring unharmed! I love the white on the plant. It shows especially white under flourescent light (from my security light) at nighttime, and could explain the extreme white in the pic, from the effects of the light flash at photo time. I imagine the waxy coating reflects the flash and not the skin underneath.

today Iwas searching on the net some informations about a musa Muzuga and i was redirected on a site selling bananas ..Thay have a white banana ,they call Musa X Parasidiaca Inarufufu...Do you know something about it?

Those are awesome pictures! Nice variety! I'd have to have a change of shorts if I ever came across something like that!!!

Here's a close up of Kluay Namwah Nuan Jan. This is a variety of Namwah (there are many variations of Namwah there).

sunfish · 02-05-2010, 04:45 PM

This is the fruit of what I have as Ice Cream. Never got any blue coloring on mine

mango_kush · 02-06-2010, 07:44 PM

Musa Blue Java (Ice Cream) - Bananas Wiki

doesnt look like musa Blue Java (ice cream)

i wonder why those white bananas were never brought over into the states, they look good.

curriedrice · 02-08-2010, 06:39 PM

Great picture! Now if only there was a way to create the "living in a hot house" feel of Thailand.

DaveE · 02-09-2010, 01:06 PM

Thanks for posting those, I can tell I am going to end up with way too many bananas.
