Do they lower the price for the little ones?
The way plantains are sold drives me crazy, here a 6 oz is the same price as a 16 oz. Bananas are sold by the pound but platanos are by unit. If they were sold by the pound the production would increase and prices fall, and people would stop searching for the largest ones.
What is the price in your area?

Grade A is kind of a misnomer, given that fact it is a grade for the smallest marketable fruit. As far as I know it is the only the grade, Grade A or unmarketable.
Wall Mart here sells the large and small for 33 cents each! Same price for large or small size.. There are a few other small local chain stores here that charge .50 cents a Plantain.
One chain store ALDI has them for .25 each always smaller ones ..
Also in the Hispanic stores here offer the shorter ones (forget the name) I get them when I'm having people over for dinner..
