Re: Manzano's at the grocery........
Wow, I feel guilty knowing that I have Manzanos available in all of the grocery stores in my area. It's been that way since I was a child and they have always been my favorite grocery store banana. The irony is.. I can't grow them! They do better north of here.
Indeed, Manzanos are terribly astringent when not fully ripe. Don't bother peeling them until you see some black on them. The skin should come off pretty much by itself.
An AWESOME alternative to Manzano is the "Mysore" banana. It tastes almost exactly the same and does not have the astringent quality to it.
