New foods on the block

Our round up of fascinating new produce in the shops by Phil Mundy. Here's the first...

RED BANANAS

When we think of bananas we imagine yellow curvy fruits, often with a few brown spots. Well, think again! Morrisons now sells red bananas in their fresh produce aisles providing a welcome break from the norm! There were a few strange glances here, when they appeared in the office fruit bowl, but once people were convinced they really were edible the compliments flowed.

There are many subtle and not-so subtle differences between them and their yellow skinned cousins: smaller in size; paler, creamy white flesh; a slightly tangy, almost raspberry like flavour and they also seem to ripen slower in the bowl.
