Yes it is... The pseudostem has a shiny (not waxy) appearance. The fruit color is light green yellow when ripe and is great for cooking (green), thick chips (green), fried (ripe), Marmalade (very ripe). An alternative to replace the traditional "Cuerno" plantain. Its resistance to Black Sigotoka, high yields and excellent quality have made it a popular fruit that may be consumed fresh or processed. This variety is currently being grown by many small farmers and co-ops throughout Honduras with excellent results. Under similar conditions FHIA-21's yield may surpass the traditional Cuerno plantain variety by two or three times. By employing modern scientific production methods, this fruit may be profitably exported to international markets. At the present time there are commercial plantations growing this variety in Honduras, Nicaragua and Ecuador.. AAAB 10-12'.. :^)
