A “Blue Java” banana is an unusual exotic fruit. Bananas of this variety have a blue color and fantastic taste, writes “Agro-Center” with a reference to “GRAIN”.

The main feature of this fruit is its color. The shape is not different from that of ordinary bananas, but the skin is bright blue. The skin has a slightly dusty tint. “Blue Java” bananas are also called “ice cream bananas” because they taste like vanilla ice cream or custard.

These bananas can grow in a colder climate compared to traditional varieties. They need sufficient sunlight. The fruit needs to be kept warm if the temperature drops. It takes several years for the plants to start bearing fruit.

Blue bananas have the same beneficial properties as traditional bananas. They are an excellent source of fiber, manganese, and vitamins B6 and C. You can eat the fruits raw on their own, freeze them or add to smoothies.
