- 🔵 The Blue Java Banana, also known as the Ice Cream Banana, really does have a blueish tint when the fruit is unripe.
- 🔵 It's not bright neon blue, but more of a silvery blue-green or frosty blue tone.
- 🔵 This cool color is especially noticeable under sunlight and is one of the reasons the variety is so eye-catching.
- 🔵 Once ripe, the fruit turns pale yellow and has a creamy texture with a vanilla-like flavor, hence the nickname "ice cream banana."
