Order until: 03.11.2024, 05.01.2025, 02.03.2025 or 04.05.2025
These baby bananas come from the Caluma region of Ecuador. The bananas are only about 10 centimetres long and taste sweeter than their larger relatives. Three farming families grow the fruits in a polyculture together with other varieties and citrus fruits. The families cultivate close to nature and pesticide-free, but they are not yet certified organic. The fruit arrives at your home green, and you ripen it at home.
Use & preparation
- Use green bananas in savoury dishes: Peanut and Banana Curry, Green Banana and Black Bean Stew.
- Use ripe bananas to make delicious smoothies and if you still have some left over, you can freeze them or bake a classic banana bread.
Storage & shelf life
Bananas stay fresh for several weeks when stored in a cool place. The optimal storage
temperature is 13°Celsius, like a cool cellar. The temperature in the refrigerator is too low for bananas and the cold may damage them. Bananas also require a certain amount of humidity. If they become too dry, they will not turn yellow and be very difficult to peel. You shouldn›t remove the plastic bag that comes with the box, as it prevents the fruit from drying out. Make sure that there is enough air circulation. Never store your bananas in an airtight container, otherwise excess moisture can accumulate, which may lead to the fruit moulding and spoiling. Open the box
regularly and make sure that there isn›t any moisture collecting in the bag.
Store the bananas you plan on eating soon loosely packed in a smaller plastic bag at room temperature. Sprinkle a little water on them to keep them from drying out and open the bag regularly to prevent moisture from accumulating. The fruit will ripen within a few days. The warmer the room temperature, the faster the bananas will ripen.
