Bananas are great. Tasty and full of vitamins and nutrients. Sadly there is a banana blight which effects the yellow bananas you get at the grocery store. I guess the same thing happened to another variety of the banana like 50 years ago. There was an awesome interview on NPR about it. So in an effort to diversify and general culinary curiosity I tried some new bananas.
Small finger bananas: Taste about the same but much smaller. ( great for little ones)
Red bananas Taste like bananas but are much sweeter and buttery. And they are fully ripe. You don't have to wait for them to ripen at home. And the little bit at the end of the banana that I don't like stays in the peel instead of coming out. (huge bonus) And the fruit is a beautiful color!
The red bananas are my favorite so far. So that is what we have been getting. So if you see them in the store try them, they may cost more, but their flavor is better, and you can help smaller growers!
