Baby bananas, or “bananitos” belong to the same family as the common banana, but only grow to 7 cm in length. Unlike common bananas, baby bananas grow in regions with moderate climate, between 1,000 and 1,500 MASL. Bananitos are known for their delicious taste, much sweeter than common bananas. While ripening, the fruits turn from green to yellow, finally becoming an intense yellow and developing a slightly soft texture when fully-ripe and ready for consumption.
