Strange reason why these blue banana’s grow like this

Appearances can be deceiving: the Blue Java, more commonly called the “blue banana,” is a natural fruit, despite what you might think based on its lovely bubble-gum-blue colour.

While blue isn’t a colour that shows up often in nature, several blue fruits and plants exist, tantalising the palates of foodies everywhere.

The blue banana, a treasure from Asia and Oceania
These bananas grow in humid and sunny places like Fiji, the Philippines and Southeast Asia. While the classic banana varieties that we know such as the Musa balbisiana and Musa acuminata need heat and are grown in tropical places, the Blue Java is more resistant. It can grow in temperatures as low as -7°C!

The delicious vanilla taste of the “ice cream banana”
There is more to this fruit than simply its blue peel and its resistance to cold. While the flesh of this banana is similar to other bananas in its pale yellow colour, the smooth texture has a taste that will surprise any sweet tooth with its vanilla flavours.

This banana also grows in Hawaii where people call it the “ice cream banana.” It definitely piques the interest of food lovers!
