1x South Indian Karpuravalli Banana (SIKB) is the sweetest golden-yellow banana variety commonly found in Kerala, Tamil Naidu, Kanada & Andra Paradesh (AP).

* Taste and appearance: The sweetest Indian banana variety, with an ash-coated, golden-yellow skin and a creamy, pale-yellow pulp.

* Aroma: The name “Karpooravalli” translates to “camphor-like,” which comes from the distinct, aromatic scent of its leaves.

* Health benefits: the leaves are used in traditional remedies and the fruit is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin C, and fiber.

* Cultivation: It is a robust plant that grows well in marginal land including clay found in new housing estates in Australia with thin infertile top soil.

* The banana fruits can be used for making smoothies, desserts, chutneys, fruit bars & banana chips.
