The apple bananas are also smaller, not as mealy and have thinner skins than their Cavendish cousins.
I just ate another one and noticed a bit of tartness. I doubt that's what it is though. It has more of a plantain flavor than a regular banana so I guess it is probably some variety of plantain.

I know, right? I have banana plants here in Savannah, zone 8, but no sign of an actual banana.
