Default Re: Banana Identification

Looks to be 'Dwarf Orinoco'.

FYI, although it is an extremely common description, even from very high level sources and publications, the notion of a division between banana and plantain is false. It is often misleading and confusing, and when not it is rarely helpful. Plantains are a very specific genetic group of bananas, but that is all. It is akin to making a distinction between bananas and Cavendish bananas. There really is even no clear difference in use, as whether a banana is cooked, eaten raw, or used in another fashion, depends primarily on cultural use which can vary greatly.
