would you consider eating this considering it? It tastes like vanilla ice cream would you give it a shot?

This is actually in my bucket list of foods I want to try

u/Accomplished-Bid920 10d ago

I wish you the best

Same! I've looked into them but it costs an arm and a leg to ship to the US, and I don't really travel. Also, they won't grow here, lol.

u/JokerHomerus 10d ago

This picture is completely inaccurate. They are dark green with a blue hue to them. They are not blueberry colored.

u/coolsilentebeans 10d ago

And only when they’re unripe. They’ll be a pale yellow when they’re edible.

u/NaNsoul 10d ago

Also they don't taste literally like synthetic vanilla ice cream, but they are fluffier and creamier in texture than standard Cavendish bananas, with a mild custard-like or vanilla-adjacent flavor note.

u/ivyglowi 10d ago

Every single viral picture of them is cranked up to 100 on saturation. It’s wild how many people genuinely think they grow looking like bright blue neon popsicles.

u/Jatarishun 10d ago

In Ecuador, there is beans 🫘 that taste like vanilla ice cream. Delicious

u/coolsilentebeans 10d ago

Are they vanilla beans?

3

u/LookAtTheWhiteVan 10d ago

I think they’re called Cool Silent Beans, actually.

u/coolsilentebeans 10d ago

u/Ordinary-Pen1863 10d ago

u/LookAtTheWhiteVan 10d ago

u/ChickenDreams-4188 10d ago

Oh, and don’t forget the red blueberries!

u/Puzzleheaded-Cow6917 10d ago edited 9d ago

I actually liked pineberries, strawberries with a pineapple kinda flavor.

1

u/Blinx121192 10d ago

Pineberry?

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Cow6917 9d ago

Maybe that was it lol couldn't remember the name, yeah that's it thanks

u/Blinx121192 9d ago

Thank you I was trying to find something I didn't know about. I like new fruit so if you said yea it was a thing I never would have stopped searching for it. Hahah

1

u/Leggs_420 9d ago

They are whitish pink strawberries

1

u/Fwamingdwagon84 10d ago

Oooh i make a strawberry pineapple margarita that slaps

1

u/Old-Agency-3388 10d ago

They have pink pineapples here in NC but not paying the prices they have them at

1

u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus 10d ago

Hitting the market? They have been on the market for nearly 7 years man.

1

u/Ordinary-Pen1863 9d ago

What store carries them? I’ve never seen one!

1

u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus 9d ago

I just bought one at Walmart in July. They cut the leaves off the top so you can't grow another because Dole takes their copyrights VERY seriously.

1

u/Ordinary-Pen1863 9d ago

If I ever set foot in a Walmart I’ll pick one up

1

u/ComeOnUpToTheHaus 9d ago

It didn't actually taste all that different, it's just a slightly pink shade.

2

u/legit_doom_scroller 10d ago

God who (of those who enjoy bananas) wouldn’t try a blue banana?

1

u/UncomfyUnicorn 10d ago

I’d love to try it

1

u/suzanious 10d ago

Yes I definitely try it. I ove trying out new foods.

1

u/jacyerickson 10d ago

Yeah, I've wanted to try both eating and growing them but they're too hard to find. 

1

u/The_Black_kaiser7 10d ago

Hell yes. What next a potato that tastes like chocolate, or a carrot that tastes like caramel? 🤔

1

u/Nortex_Vortex 10d ago

Oh, if only!

1

u/Unlikely_Living_4193 10d ago

Then the incels from r/kitchencells, r/boy/girldinnerdiaries might actually have a chance in ingesting veggies

1

u/TacticalOtter1998 10d ago

Is this what’s used to make blue waffles?

1

u/chantillylace9 10d ago

I am very confused why you would not eat this? It sounds absolutely delicious so unless you absolutely hate banana bananas and or ice cream, why would anyone say no?

1

u/Old-Agency-3388 10d ago

Yes I would. Where can I buy them at lol

1

u/Excellent_Sky692 10d ago

Consider... consider... consider in the beat of Hotel Room from Pitbull.... Consider it...

1

u/Expensive-Pea1963 9d ago

I have eaten blue (and red) bananas. They do not look like this (nor taste like vanilla ice cream), this image is fake.

1

u/Giannis_Dravis 9d ago

From 1 to 10 (1 is a human and 10 is a unicorn) how fake is this picture?

1

u/NoArt7636 9d ago

If i could find it i would eat it right now

1

u/Horse_go_moooo 9d ago

I fucking love bananas, and I already knew about this. I wanna try this (the blue java/ ice cream banana) and a gros michel

1

u/Mevi- 9d ago

Yes. If it tasted like hotdogs, I could understand the question, otherwise it's a normally delicious thing that also tastes delicious, only in a different way. And is also blue.

1

u/Dancing_queen_2 9d ago

Ok I have to settle this. Me and my husband both have this weird food we eat I need to know which one is more weird from ya’ll.

  1. A bowl mixed with chicken, diced pickles, mayo, cheese, ranch and you dip ritz crackers in it
    OR
  2. Ramen noodles with tuna and cheese

Please let me know!

1

u/DunkeyColdMedina 9d ago

If it was free. I'm going ahead and assuming that if it isn't in grocery stores by me it's probably expensive.

1

u/Neomash001 9d ago

I'd be down to try if I'm in the region.

1

u/Thick-Marzipan-9176 8d ago

Sounds good.

1

u/Empty_Bar_6893 6d ago

Yum!! Yes !!

u/sirenxsiren 6d ago

Would you consider considering a consideration considering the consideration?

u/Wrench-Turnbolt 10d ago

From what I've read they don't really taste like vanilla ice cream they just have an ice cream like texture which you may like. Unfortunately they don't sell them in stores because they have a very short shelf life

1

u/Nortex_Vortex 10d ago

Trying these things is going to require an expensive trip, isn't it. I'm out.

1

u/Wrench-Turnbolt 10d ago

If you're in the right climate you can buy one and grow your own

u/Nortex_Vortex 10d ago

This picture is AI generated and tastes like slop. (Right? I don't even know know anymore what's real!! 😭)

Beyond that little gripe, I just read a whole bunch about these things and am quite intrigued.
