This week, I learned that we had been selling spare bananas to the local mini-mart for $2 for a bunch of 200 bananas or more to retail them to locals here. That would be about a cent a banana or one hundred times less than the ones in Starbucks. Similar story for our coffee. Such is life as a producer in the tropics!
We have several types of banana here on the farm. They are all out of this world good, the most delicious balance of fruit, acidity and sweetness. A flavor you only ever get when you cut them fresh from the bunch.
