Like its name suggests, the ice cream banana is sweet with undeniable hints of vanilla and its skin even appears frosted, starting out as a bluish-green color before it ripens.
看名字就知道，雪糕香蕉應(yīng)該是很甜的，絕對(duì)會(huì)散發(fā)淡淡的香草味，甚至連皮上都裹著糖霜，成熟之前呈藍(lán)綠色。

At its most ripe stage, its texture is fluffier and creamier than the typical Chiquita you'll find at the store, and they practically melt in your mouth.
雪糕香蕉熟透的時(shí)候，它的肉質(zhì)比平常商店里賣(mài)的金吉達(dá)（一個(gè)國(guó)際果蔬品牌）香蕉更松軟、更細(xì)滑，幾乎會(huì)在你的口中融化。

As sinful as they sound, ice cream bananas don't contain artificial sweeteners, flavors or additives. They're just born that way.
雖然聽(tīng)起來(lái)像加了很多有害的添加劑，但雪糕香蕉不含人造甜味劑、香味劑或其他添加劑。它們天生就是那樣子的。

Ice cream bananas (also known as blue java bananas) may be a specialty fruit, but they aren't anything new. Farmers have been growing these sweet fruits in Hawaii since the early 1920s, according to Ken Love, executive director of Hawaii Tropical Fruit Growers, and in other tropical regions for ages.
雪糕香蕉（也被稱(chēng)為爪哇藍(lán)香蕉）或許算是特產(chǎn)水果，但其實(shí)并不是什么新奇的品種。夏威夷“熱帶水果種植者”公司的執(zhí)行董事肯·羅維說(shuō)，自20世紀(jì)20年代起，農(nóng)民就已經(jīng)在夏威夷種植這種香蕉了，而在其他的熱帶地區(qū)也種植很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了。

As he explains on the website , banana plants mutate naturally, giving different bananas a variety of distinct flavors and characteristics such as apple bananas (which have hints of sweet citrus) and the Mysore banana (which tastes like berries).
他在夏威夷水果網(wǎng)上解釋說(shuō)，香蕉會(huì)自然地發(fā)生基因突變，使不同的香蕉品種擁有截然不同的口味和特征，比如蘋(píng)果香蕉（有淡淡的柑橘味）和邁索爾香蕉（味道像漿果）。

Bananas are usually classified in terms of their chromosomes. The ice cream banana, as Love explained, is one part sugar and two parts starch. "In this case," he said, "the starch converts to sugar when they're fully ripe."
香蕉通常是按照它們的染色體分類(lèi)的。羅維解釋說(shuō)，雪糕香蕉有一份糖和兩份淀粉，“這樣當(dāng)它們熟透的時(shí)候，淀粉就會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)化成糖?！?/div>

When they're very ripe and soft, Love likes to spread ice cream bananas over toast like butter. They also make a perfect ice cream alternative when frozen and blended.
雪糕香蕉熟透變軟后，羅維喜歡把它們抹在面包片上，就像抹黃油一樣。如果冷凍一下，加點(diǎn)配料，雪糕香蕉就完全可以當(dāng)雪糕吃。
