Carnarvon Sweeter Bananas are readily available and easy to identify, just look for the Buy West Eat Best symbol. The Lunchbox Banana is famous for its sweet and creamy taste and small size and you will always find them in its original lunchbox bag.

They have light markings on their skin but inside the bananas are perfect and can be eaten fresh, or used in smoothies and cakes.
