About Baby Bananas

• Subtropical, grown at higher altitudes
• Sweetest and smallest of all bananas
• Also known as Lady Fingers: children love them!

Selecting

The skin has a yellow, slightly pink color. Don’t be afraid of a few freckled brown spots – these are caused by the banana’s natural sugar, indicating that it is ripe, sweet and ready to eat. When baby bananas carry the DOLE label, you can be sure they are premium quality and brought to you in perfect condition.

Storing

If bananas are not yet ripe, let them ripen naturally at room temperature. If you want to store ripe bananas, pop them in the fridge for a few days; the skin will go brown but the flesh will stay firm and delicious.

Eating

The world’s favorite tropical fruit is perfect for eating from the hand at any time.
