Default Re: Newbie needs identification

There should be a point on the stem where several bananas are all attached together, and then another point where another group are all attached together, and so on. A hand is all the bananas which are attached at one point to the stem.

To cut off one hand, take a sharp serrated knife and stab the hand several time as you work you way around the stem. It is easier to plunge it in several times, than to saw all the way around. Eventually you will get them loose, and the rest will still be attached to the stem.
