Tonga bananas also known as Hopa bananas can widely vary in size and shape, depending on the specific variety, and generally have a bulbous, cylindrical shape with squared, blunt, and curved ends.

The fruits range from elongated to squat, and the semi-thick peels are smooth, waxy, and rounded, with a few angular ridges extending the length of the fruit. Hopa bananas are edible in both their green and yellow stages, and in the center of the flesh, there is a line of tiny black seeds.

Green Hopa bananas have a firm, somewhat starchy texture that must be cooked to develop a subtly sweet, mild flavor with a creamy, dense consistency reminiscent of a potato. As the fruit ripens, the peel transforms into a golden yellow hue and displays dark brown spots, a signal that the pulp can be eaten fresh. Yellow or mature Hopa bananas convert starches into sugar, creating a soft and tender pulp with a sweet, neutral flavor.

And we ship to QLD, NSW, VIC, SA and ACT every Monday and Tuesday.
