Fe'i banana

Fe'i bananas (also spelt Fehi or Fei) are cultivated plants in the genus Musa, used mainly for their fruit. They are distinct in appearance and origin from the majority of bananas and plantains currently grown, which derive from different wild species. Found mainly in the islands of the Pacific, particularly French Polynesia, Fe'i bananas have skins which are brilliant orange to red in colour with yellow or orange flesh inside. They are usually eaten cooked and have been an important food for Pacific Islanders, moving with them as they migrated across the ocean. Most are high in beta-carotene (a precursor of Vitamin A).
