Morrisons has introduced an exclusive red banana to its shelves.
The red-skinned fruit is small and plump, with a sweet taste.
The red banana is produced slower than its yellow counterparts. The plant takes 10 months to fruit, six months to mature, and a further five days to ripen so that the bananas are ready to eat, the retailer said.
They can be eaten raw or used in baking.
Anthony Forbes, trading manager for produce, said: “We like to offer our customers a wide range of fresh fruit to cater for all tastes, including The Best, Organic, Fairtrade, and more unusual varieties such as this.
“As we are the only supermarket to sell red bananas, they are already proving extremely popular with our customers, and we expect that they will fly off the shelves over the coming weeks.”
