Every Banana Type Explained — from Cavendish and Gros Michel to Blue Java, Red Banana,
Namwah, Cardaba, and Dajiao. In this video, we break down the taste, texture, history, and
uses of some of the world’s most fascinating banana varieties.
Most people think all bananas taste the same, but that’s not true. Some are sweeter, some are
starchier, some are better for cooking, and some nearly disappeared from the global market.
You’ll learn why Gros Michel was once the world’s favorite banana, why Blue Java is called the
ice cream banana, how Red Bananas differ from Cavendish, and why varieties like Namwah,
Cardaba, and Dajiao matter in food culture across Asia and beyond.
