Banana varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common banana varieties compare.

VarietyBest for
CavendishBanana bread, muffins, smoothies: the standard sweet dessert banana; riper means sweeter.
Lady Finger (Sugar)Snacking and quick breads: smaller and sweeter than Cavendish.
PlantainFrying and savoury cooking: starchy and firm, not sweet; cook before eating.
Red bananaRaw snacking and desserts: soft and sweet, faintly raspberry.

Which should I pick?

For banana bread, muffins, and smoothies, the everyday Cavendish is the default; use spotty, very ripe ones for the sweetest bake. No Cavendish? Lady Finger (Sugar) bananas are smaller and sweeter, good raw or in quick breads. Red bananas are a sweet dessert option. Reach for plantains only when a recipe wants a starchy cooking banana: they stay firm and savoury, not sweet.
