Description: The Burro banana has a stubby, rectangular shape which is reminiscent of the stocky donkey, hence its name. When it is still green, this banana can be prepared like a plantain, but if left to ripen, the result is a creamy, sweet fruit with a slightly crisp, dense center and some citrus undertones.
