The Desi Banana (Rajapuri) is a large, thick-skinned banana known for its mildly sweet flavor and filling texture. Grown widely in Maharashtra and Gujarat, Rajapuri is valued for its starchy profile, making it perfect not just as a fruit but also for cooking in traditional dishes like banana chips, curries, and halwa.
Its slow energy release makes it a favorite for athletes and those seeking a wholesome, sustaining fruit.
