Bananaman88

I recently purchased some of the mini bananas sold by Dole from Ecuador. They never turned yellow. They remained half green, half black. I finally tried to peel one only to find them very difficult to peel. The flesh had a nice taste, though it seemed a little on the dry side and the center of the flesh was sort of hard, though still edible. I don't know if they weren't handled properly or what. Lorax advised me that they were probably what they call Oritos in Ecuador. She said they are harvested green like other bananas and then gassed here in the U.S. to ripen them. I'd like to get a hold of some that have been ripened properly because I really think they'd be great. Is this the same as 'Nino'? I saw that listed above.
