Rath Kessel & Red Dacca Banana – The Shield of Sri Lanka

Frequency: Root & Solar Plexus
Origin: Sri Lanka & Ecuador 
Taste Profile: Sweet Creamy / Berry-Mango Notes / Aromatic
Availability: All Year Round

Energetic Properties:
Builds inner strength and grounded stability
Acts as a shield of protection, mirroring its red skin
Supports circulation and life-force energy

Physical Benefits:
High in potassium, vitamin C and vitamin B6
Rich in magnesium, iron and dietary fibre
Contains anthocyanins which strengthen blood vessels, improve circulation and reduce inflammation

Meet our rare red bananas, ripening into a striking crimson skin that conceals soft golden-orange flesh touched with faint pink hues. Creamy and sweet with hints of raspberry and mango, it is more aromatic and flavourful than the common Cavendish banana.

The vivid red colour comes from anthocyanins, natural compounds that protect the fruit against the fierce tropical sun. When consumed, these same compounds strengthen blood vessels, enhance circulation and reduce inflammation, offering the body the same protection the banana once used to defend itself. Alongside this shield, Rath Kessel provides the full nourishment of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, iron and fibre, making it both restorative and fortifying.

In Sri Lankan tradition, the red banana is a fruit of prosperity and auspicious offering, often placed at temples and ceremonies as a symbol of fertility, energy and blessing. Its energy feeds the root and solar plexus, offering grounding, balance, and vitality.

Born of the tropics, red banana is fruit as armour, a living shield of resilience and strength.

Common Questions

Will my fruit be ripe when it arrives? +
Every box is packed daily and curated to include fruits at varying stages of ripeness. Some will be ready to eat immediately, while others may need 1–2 days at room temperature to reach their peak. This is intentional — it means you can enjoy your fruits over several days rather than all at once.
How long does delivery take? +
We receive shipments from all across the world every day of the week, so to assure for the best selection and finest quality, orders can take between 1–5 working days. If a specific delivery date is required, please leave a note at checkout.
Where do the fruits come from? +
We work with only Grade One Fruits. Our produce is sourced from all across the world and we work with both highly skilled elite growers and traditional farmers in remote tropical regions who have cleanly cultivated fruit for generations.
