Fehi Bananas for Traditional Taste and Island Cuisine

Fehi bananas, also known as Fe‘i bananas, are a rare Polynesian variety recognized by their striking orange to red-tinted skin and vibrant yellow-orange flesh. Unlike common dessert bananas, Fehi bananas are typically cooked before eating due to their firm texture and mildly starchy flavor. When cooked—whether boiled, steamed, or baked—they develop a rich, earthy sweetness and a smooth, hearty consistency. Highly valued in Pacific Island cuisines, Fehi bananas are nutritious, visually distinctive, and prized for their unique color and robust flavor in both savory and sweet dishes.
