Bananas
Burro Banana

The Burro bananas are also known as chunky bananas. When you compare them to the common banana, they are stubbier and have somewhat of a square shape.
It you look at the peel, you will find that it is rich of a vivid, dark green color that turns deep yellow. Just like any banana, they have black spots when ripe.

The flesh of a young Burro banana is experienced as tart and tangy. People say it also has subtle notes of apple and lime. As the fruit matures, the peel turns yellow. The flesh becomes soft on the outside with a slightly crisp textured center. When a Burro banana is ripe, the flavor is creamy sweet and has lemon undertones.

Best use when green: Fried
Best use when yellow: Just eat it!
