Does anyone know how this type of fruit is typically used? To me it has always been more of a novelty than any true quality. I assume it is a boiling or frying type but have never seen it used or talked about from its original use elsewhere. Often appears as though being adapted to eating ripe and yellow bananas has us trying to alter the use from cooking types to our own tastes. Would be interested to know more of the ethnic use.
