Karat bananas are local cultivars of Fe'i banana found in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. The name originates from their bright orange flesh, unusually rich in β-carotene. They are often treated as a single cultivar, i.e. a distinct cultivated variety, with a name written as Musa 'Karat' in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. However, in Pohnpei there are at least three types, 'Karat Kole', 'Karat Pwehu' and 'Karat Pako'. The last has a larger fruit, up to 400–500 g in weight.

Su nombre hace referencia a la pulpa anaranjada brillante, inusualmente rica en β-caroteno. Aunque es una subvariedad local de la banana fe'i, a menudo se trata como un cultivar distinto, bajo el nombre de Musa 'Karat' de acuerdo con el ICNCP. Sin embargo, en Ponapé hay al menos tres tipos, Karat Kole, Karat Pwehu y Karat Pako. El último es el fruto de mayor tamaño, hasta 400–500 g de peso. (es)

| - Karat bananas are local cultivars of Fe'i banana found in Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. The name originates from their bright orange flesh, unusually rich in β-carotene. They are often treated as a single cultivar, i.e. a distinct cultivated variety, with a name written as Musa 'Karat' in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants. However, in Pohnpei there are at least three types, 'Karat Kole', 'Karat Pwehu' and 'Karat Pako'. The last has a larger fruit, up to 400–500 g in weight. Traditionally, the Karat banana was used in Micronesia to wean infants onto solid food. It is much less often eaten there now that imported foods have grown in popularity. However, it is believed that because beta-carotenes are important metabolic precursors of vitamin A, essential for the proper functioning of the retina, giving Karat bananas to young children could help ward off certain kinds of blindness. A campaign to increase the consumption of Karat bananas (and of Fe'i bananas in general) has therefore taken place in Pohnpei. (en)

Tradicionalmente, la banana Karat se usaba en Micronesia para destetar a los bebés en alimentos sólidos. Ahora se come con mucha menos frecuencia, puesto que los alimentos importados han crecido en cantidad y popularidad. Sin embargo, se cree que debido a que los betacarotenos son precursores metabólicos importantes de la vitamina A, esenciales para el buen funcionamiento de la retina, dar plátanos Karat a los niños pequeños podría ayudar a prevenir ciertos tipos de ceguera. Por lo tanto, se ha llevado a cabo en Ponapé una campaña para aumentar el consumo de bananas Karat (y de bananas Fe'i en general). (es)
