What is a Topochos ?
 

Hi , I need your help......

I've been offered a musa "Topochos" from Canaries, but I cannot find any useful info about it ....
The seller says is an edible banana plant, but from the few infos I've found it look like a platain (so the fruit must be cooked) rather than a dessert banana plant, can you confirm ?

Could you please show me any pic of it ?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, it totally sounds like a Spanish/Mexican dish, so the best bet is that its some local name for otherwise well-known variety(search wiki for cooking bananas) or it is some local variety closely derived from something else.
Any and all info about cooking varieties can be found here:

Search results - Bananas Wiki

Those are the most commonly cultivated varieties.

You must be right..... it sounds like a spanish local name for a different cultivar..... muck like "gran enana" for "Gran Nain" or "comune di Sicilia" for "Orinoco.... maybe"

I'd like to know if anyone has more infos about it and what cultivar is......
