Lady Finger

Lady Finger, also known as Sugar banana, is a group of slender, small-fruited dessert bananas beloved for their exceptional sweetness. The fruit is short and thin with a thin skin, and the flesh is sweeter and more sugary than Cavendish, often with a slight tang. Plants are tall and slender with a robust root system, and they tend to be somewhat hardier and more wind-tolerant than many commercial types. Lady Finger bananas ripen with fine flavor and are popular in home gardens and local markets where their small, sweet fingers are eaten fresh out of hand. Their slim elegant fruit and superior sweetness make them a favorite backyard banana in Australia, Southeast Asia, and other warm regions.
