Burro bananas are grown throughout Mexico and The Philippines, however we source ours from the Caribbean. They are aptly named because their stubby stature is reminiscent to that of a donkey or 'burro'. The peel is a rich, vivid, dark green that turns deep yellow with characteristic black/brown spots when ripe. When young, the flesh of the burro banana is tart and tangy with notes of apple and lime. As the fruit matures, the yellow flesh is soft on the outside with a slightly crisp textured center. A ripe Burro banana's flavour is creamy and sweet with lemon undertones. Burro bananas are known as a dual-purpose variety. They can be enjoyed fresh when fully ripe or used green like a plantain. Burro bananas can be used in both sweet and savoury preparations. Most savoury preparations are within Thai, Filipino, Indian, Latin and Caribbean cuisines. Burro bananas have very little fat and are low in calories.
