Sambal Peyan Banana, Grey Banana Rare

The Sambal Peyan Banana, often referred to as the Grey Banana due to its distinctive bluish-grey peel when unripe, is a rare and exotic fruit native to Southeast Asia.

Its unusual appearance and rich cultural heritage make it a standout in tropical fruit collections. Despite its rarity, it is valued both for its taste and its use in ceremonial or regional cuisine. Whether enjoyed raw or cooked, the Sambal Peyan Banana offers a flavorful glimpse into a lesser-known corner of banana biodiversity.
