A Journey to the Past with Red Banana!

It was a regular weekly shopping at a leading supermarket chain in Bogor, suddenly something caught my attention in a corner of fresh fruit area. The red banana! I didn't remember when was the last time I ate this banana. It might be when I was in kindergarten, thirty-something years ago!

The price tag was approx. Rp. 27,000/kg (US $ 2.8/kg), which was way more expensive than Cavendish banana at less than Rp. 15,000/kg. But heck, I don't find it everyday.

I ate it at home. I had to admit that this red banana is not the best banana in the world, but it brought me a time travel to the past.


Note:
The red banana scientific name is Musa acuminata (AAA Group) 'Red Dacca'. Lots information on this banana in Internet, you might want to start from this Wikipedia link here.
