Today, it is easy to buy Laba Bananas at supermarkets or markets, but many people still wonder how to distinguish Laba Banana from other bananas of the same shape as old bananas and dwarf bananas. ..

Origin:
Lam Dong Province
Growth conditions:
- Laba bananas are only suitable for climatic and soil conditions in the Lam Dong Plateau - cool place all year round, large temperature difference between day and night.
- Best quality when planted at an altitude of 1000m - 1500m above sea level.
- The slow growing time must be after 12 -15 months after planting to harvest (Other bananas are harvested sooner than 8-10 months after planting).
- According to research by Japanese scientists:
The longer the banana growing time, the more sweetness increases, the harvesting time of bananas in the Central Highlands is usually 3 months slower than the low ones. Bananas grown in the highlands have 1.8 times more vitamin C than lowland bananas. Moreover, eating bananas in the uplands will increase the immunity of leukocytes to 1.7 times that of lowland bananas. Thus, the slow harvest time of a banana not only makes it sweeter, but also has a high nutrition, so its value also tends to increase.
Identifying characteristics:
- Laba Banana with the Banana Pepper family, international name: Cavendish (also called the old banana, Dwarf banana) should have a similar shape, if not experienced very easily confused with this banana.
- The easiest way to identify is based on banana stalks to distinguish
• Laba bananas have large stalks, shortening the distance between thick stalks.
• The head (flower nipple) is enlarged (stubborn)
Other types of bananas:
• Stem small, long spacing between left stalks
• The tip (flower nipple) is pointed
Quality:
- Laba banana is yellow, smooth, sweet, delicious and has a characteristic scent, very high sugar level: 24-26 brix.
- The other bananas meaty, pale, slightly sour taste low sugar: 16-18 brix
- Although Laba bananas can be grown in Lam Dong, but grown in Lam Ha, Duc Trong, Don Duong, Lac Duong and Da Lat districts, the best quality is available.
