So… what’s the point of a banana you can’t eat?
Despite the question, orders are pouring in from all over the world—Asia, North America, Oceania, and beyond.

Unmatched Attention to Detail

What makes this banana so popular? Its unbelievably realistic design.
Each one is cast from a real banana grown in the Philippines—famous for its banana production.
Molten metal is poured into a mold taken from the actual fruit, resulting in a metal banana that’s nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
Smooth to the touch, it even features the tiny bumps and textures found on the stem.
Its grip, size, and shape are so true to life that anyone who sees it is guaranteed to say, “Wait… is this a real banana?”
