The Blue Java banana is a variety of banana that is prized for its unique flavor and texture. It is also known as the "Ice cream banana" due to its creamy, vanilla-like taste. The Blue Java banana has a light blue or silver skin when unripe and turns yellow when it is ripe. Unlike other varieties of bananas, the Blue Java banana is said to maintain its creamy texture even when fully ripe, making it a popular choice for use in smoothies and baked goods.
