Bananito

Musa acuminata, anyone? Otherwise known as a bananito (I am not kidding), this is another variety of banana. (It is also called a manzana, stubby banana, or ladyfinger). In our grocery stores, we have only one type of banana, the Cavendish banana. They originated in Eastern Asia, Southern China, India, Philippines, and Malaysia. See if you can tell the difference between them below:



Now where would I get such a strange, fat little fruit. Well I work in the greenhouses on campus where we happen to have a few banana trees. They were ripe today and my boss said I could take 4 bananas to make banana bread for this project.


This is the recipe that I used for the bread. The bananas were a little harder to mash up, maybe I should have waited a day for them to ripen a bit more. It turned out well, I can't wait to try it!


It looks delicious!
