Joy Re: Banana Science!

The culprit of a Malaysian cultivar which always produce double joes is the Pisang Rastali. Though not as mutated as Beth's particular DC, it is very common coming from this cultivar.

As you can see from the pix, this is the kampong or home grown type and when allowed to slightly ripen on the plant, it will show tremendous number of dark sugar spots and streaks. Ugly? Super tasting fruit which is my personal staple among all the cultivars here. It is sweet with an acidic tang. Super!
