A very sweet-tasting banana that often resembles the taste of honey with a smooth and consistent texture. The Pisang Raja is the most productive of the orange-fleshed bananas and produces a slightly fuzzy fruit that is deliciously sweet. When fully ripe, it has almost no starchiness, which lends itself to be quite creamy and dense. However, these bananas are shorter in length when compared to Cavendish bananas since they only measure up to six inches.
Miami, FL
Nearly a decade ago, Miami began selling fruit at local farmers' markets, initially using a bicycle to pick up produce from nearby farms. As demand grew, Miami Fruit expanded, transitioning to car and van transport.
By 2016, prompted by requests from Facebook friends nationwide, Miami teamed up with partner Edelle Schlegel to establish Miami Fruit officially. Today, they collaborate with numerous local growers and operate their own seven-acre farm. The fruit they source usually ships the day after it’s picked, and it’s oftentimes fruit that simply can’t be found outside of the Tropics.
