Banana  (Ethappazham-Indian)

Short Description :-  Ethapazham or Nendra pazham is the lengthiest and biggest banana variety commonly available across the state. Apart from other banana species, these can be consumed to gain weight.

This vegetable-banana can be eaten and tastes different at every stage of development. The interior colour of the fruit will remain creamy, yellowish or lightly pink. When the peel is green, the flavour of the flesh is bland and its texture is starchy. As the peel changes to yellow, brown or black, it has a sweeter flavour and more of a banana aroma, but still keeps a firm shape when cooked.
