A large "cooking banana" that is flatter and longer than the common Cavendish banana. With a firm texture and a mild flavor, similar to a squash, the flesh of this banana contains less sugar but more starch than other varieties.

Native to tropical regions, a banana has a tough outer peel that may be yellow, red, green, or black when ripe.

For many this term refers to a cooked breakfast cereal common in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Scotland that is made from oats.
