General Description/History

The Red Dacca has a reddish-purple skin and is shorter and plumper than the traditional Cavendish banana. The flesh varies in colour from cream to light pink, with a mild, slightly raspberry flavour. Originating in South America and Asia, Red Dacca’s are used in salads and fruit compotes, and are often baked. Select fruit that are bright red with a pleasant mellow aroma. Store at room temperature. Do not refrigerate, as the skin will blacken.
