Red Banana

Red Banana – A Royal Treat from Your Childhood Fruit Basket

If you’ve ever peeled a thick-skinned, deep maroon banana during temple festivals or family gatherings, chances are it was the majestic Red Banana – fondly known as Sivappu Vazhai in Tamil. Once a staple in auspicious occasions and traditional diets, this fruit wasn't just eaten—it was honored. At myHarvest Farms, we bring this legacy back to your home—organically grown, chemical-free, and naturally ripened for that true, time-honored taste.

These bananas are plump and firm, with a vibrant reddish-purple skin and creamy, faintly pink-hued flesh. The flavor is noticeably richer than the common yellow banana—infused with subtle notes of raspberry, honey, and vanilla, offering a luxuriously sweet and complex taste that feels like a royal indulgence.
