Re: Little Store bought bananas
Thank you Gabe.. Just wanted to let you know, I had Called Del Monte. They referred me to a "Fresh Fruit" Division and they called and left a message on my phone, confirming the banana Variety purchased in the store with that tag is indeed Pisang Mas.
Awesome Banana! Gonna have to add that to a list of Wants :-)
It's funny but, when I looked up Pisang Mas online, My description almost matches :-) I said very sweet, Thin Skinned, so soft they mush when peeling, Orangey flesh and very creamy.
One website I found describes them as "very thin-skinned and fragile when ripe. Their golden-yellow flesh is sweet and honey-like and faintly gelatinous."
:-)
