  1. Fresh bananas. Plucked from the garden.
    My guess is that this is an unusual flavor.
    I do not know him ...

    1. This is a local variety. This banana is great to be processed. But on the peak of the maturity, we can eat it fresh. The taste is so sweet.

  5. We usually have one type of banana but I have had some little ones that are not exactly like yours and they had a real nice taste. I think our bananas are selected for their shipping quality and not the taste. Your stir fry looks so good.

    1. I think so. Bananas will give us the best taste if we harvest the tree ripening fruits. But if the bananas will shipped, the fruits should be harvested about a week before they get their full ripening stage.

    1. Actually banana is a lovely plant. The growth so fast, needs a little maintenance and can produce it fruit from the clump all year round

  8. Looks wonderful...Most of our bananas are ship to the US from other countries.
    I have heard they are much sweeter when pick from the tree.

    1. Yes, that's right. For home grown banansa, we harvest the cluster when the skin become yellowish. The taste is much better.

  9. Looks delicious with the chocolate, I like the taste of bananas but we get here only one variety because we cannot grow them here. When I visited Indonesia a long time ago I was surprised about the many different bananas. I bought some one a station when we were in the train from Bandung to Yogjakarta, these obviously were wrong ones because they had so many seeds. They told me these were bird bananas, is that correct?

    1. Yes, there are some banana with the seeds inside for birds. But they will be great snack or dishesh when we process them. There is 'pisang klutuk' that we eat immature fruits for traditional fruit salad 'rujak'.
