Thai fresh banana

Thai Name: nam wa

Thai bananas are a unique type of banana that are popular in Thailand. These bananas are much smaller than typical bananas and offer a much sweeter taste. They are typically eaten raw but can be enjoyed in varied forms of ripeness whether with a simple yogurt or cooked and baked into desserts. The young and green bananas can be eaten raw and used in a vegetable sauce. Bananas that are slightly older are usually left out in the sun and then fried for a quick snack.

The great thing about bananas in Thailand is that they are available all year round. There are over 20 varieties of banana in Thailand, which range from the quaint little ‘finger’ bananas to the large variety with golden skins.
