With climate change on the agenda, is it time we embraced the blue banana? You may not know it, but this fruit can also come in a striking bubble-gum shade. And it’s completely natural!

This variety grows in Asia and Fiji, on humid and sunny land. It’s even able to resist the cold, which certainly isn’t the case with our usual yellow bananas. And, what’s more, this blue variety has a surprisingly delicious vanilla-like taste.
