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.
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!
