Are these “baby bananas” not the cutest snack you’ve ever seen?
I know from the comments on Arwen’s recent apple post that many of you are passionate about produce.
But have you tried these?
When I saw a small package of these baby bananas for sale at the supermarket the other day, I could not resist. I bought them and handed them out for snacks that very evening.
They were an instant hit. Just the right size for smaller hands and appetites! A fun way to experiment with new foods!
The interior of these fruits was soft and sweet, though the flavor was a bit different from the much larger bananas we are used to eating. One of the kids said they tasted like peaches while another said they were more like apples.
Either way, I think I will not be able to resist buying these little cuties again.

These were the size of bananas we used to it when I was growing up in the Philippines. I did not really encounter the larger variety until I came to the States. We would buy this by the “piling” or bundle and eat them up before the days end. In the islands, we went to market every day for breakfast, lunch & dinner. The fruits, eggs and meats were always fresh. Thanks for showing this….brings back wonderful memories…...
Google recipes that call for plantains. My husband makes an amazing curry that uses these mini-bananas in a tomato gravy that was a giant hit at one Thanksgiving pot-luck. Fried plantains are also fantastic. In Puerto Rico (on vacation) we ate plantains in so many ways imaginable—fried, baked, stuffed, and in soup!
