Named aptly to reflect their 'honey'ish sweetness, our Honey Banana is another one of the native banana varieties of India. The Honey Banana, also known as Karpuravalli in Tamil Nadu, is cherished for its intense natural sweetness and rich honey-like flavor. Slightly larger than Elaichi and softer in texture, it’s perfect for quick snacks, desserts, milkshakes, and traditional sweets. The most striking aspect of these bananas is they continue to get sweeter as their peel turns more and more black.
With its higher sugar content and fast energy release, Honey Banana is a natural pre-workout fuel or a sweet treat for kids. Honey Banana's peel will always have the black spots as seen in the pic.
