Bread Bananas

Firm and starchy, bread bananas are suited to cooking, frying and traditional dishes. They travel well when harvested and packed at the correct maturity.

Bread bananas are selected for firmness, shape and cooking performance. The maturity stage is agreed with the buyer so fruit arrives in condition for ripening or immediate use, depending on the programme.
