Musa acuminata, the Bananito, is a species of the genus Musa, and is a fruit which resembles a short fat banana. They are sweeter than the more common dessert banana, and have an apple-like taste to them, which leads to them also being known as apple bananas as well as ladies fingers and baby bananas.
