No thread about banana varieties can be considered complete without mentioning the Nendran or Nendrapazham variety. It is a bit different in appearance and more so in taste, than common consumer bananas. A bit larger. Found mostly in Kerala in India. Can be eaten either uncooked or boiled/steamed, both after ripening. I don't know how to describe the taste, sorry, ecxept to say that it is unique / distinct and very good, while somewhat different from common bananas found in the markets. Texture inside is also different.
