Everyman Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 What is กล้วยน้ำว้า in English? A Google search in Thai was inconclusive. One site said “Ducasse banana” but seemed unsure of itself. I would like to know the name of this banana cultivar in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 They're a cultivar that originated in Thailand, but are now found across SE Asia. In the West they are usually referred to as "nam wah" bananas - nam wah being a direct transcription of the Thai name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
