About Cassabanana
Cassabanana is a large, elongated tropical fruit with a firm rind that may be deep red, purple, or orange when mature. Its shape can resemble a curved cucumber or squash, and its aromatic flesh is typically orange-yellow. The mature fruit is eaten for its sweet, fragrant pulp; immature fruit may be used as a vegetable in some regions.
The ripe flesh can be eaten fresh or used in drinks, preserves, and desserts. Fruit size, rind colour, aroma, and sweetness vary, and the rind is not the portion usually eaten. Cassabanana is a specific fruit, not a general name for banana or for ordinary squash, despite its name and sometimes squash-like appearance.
