You eat them just like you would a normal banana. Don’t be surprised when you peel them and find they have a pinkish flesh, though!
10. Red Bayberry
Red bayberry trees are specifically grown for their fruit. Like some other fruits, they have one large seed inside them that you probably won’t want to eat. In terms of flavor, they taste sweet with just a little bit of tartness to them.
