Although small in size, Mini Bananas have a unique flavor that is similar to but sweeter than the more traditional, larger, Cavendish bananas. Also known as “Niños,” “Lady Fingers,” or “Baby Bananas,” these bananas are best when eaten out of hand or sliced for use in cereals or salads. When ripe (or slightly spotted) they have a very thin peel, so they need to be handled gently to prevent bruising of the edible pulp.
