Cavendish Banana - Uses

Uses

The fruits of the Cavendish bananas are eaten raw, used in baking, fruit salads, fruit compotes, and to complement foods. The outer skin is partially green when sold in food markets, and turns yellow when it ripens. When overripe, the skin turns black and the flesh becomes mushy. Bananas ripen naturally and are at their peak ripeness when the peel is all yellow with a few dark brown specks beginning to appear.

The PLUs used for Cavendish bananas are 4011 (yellow) and 4186 (small yellow). Cavendish bananas may also be sold under the retailer assigned PLUs 4237 and 4238.
