Hi there,

My title kind of says it all. At my local grocery stores, I can find regular bananas and the red bananas.

I wouldn't mind trying out a few other types like Ice Cream, Manzano, Cali Gold, Namwah....

Can anyone recommed where I can order some fruits to sample? Some place that ships would be nice as I live in Pennsylvania.

Thanks

Erik G

crazy banana

Check some ethnic food stores.
Asian markets as well as hispanic stores here usually carry Manzano, Orinoco and Namwah fruits.

thanks, I've been keeping my eyes open at the mexican / indian / and korean markets. I guess my area isn't very 'diverse' for fruit.

there is a company out of miami florida that will ship fruits especially bananas called miamifruit.org, they are a bit pricey but the quality is awesome

To bad u probably don't have a Fiesta up there but that's where I get manzano when I can..

You won't likely find Orinoco anywhere because they are called burro pretty much everywhere they are sold. Many hispanic markets will have them. I won't ship fruits anymore because the last 2 times I did they took way too long to arrive even though I used 3 day priority. The last one would have arrived perfect but I was told it took so long and got so bad that the box was delivered in a plastic bag because of the leaking. That one was 6 days late for a total of 9 days in route.

I ordered this https://www.melissas.com/Banana-Sampler-p/59.htm and they arrived under ripe but are ripening nicely in a fruit bowl. The price is much more reasonable than miami fruit and though they appear to have come from a local grocery store they look pretty good although I do not know how to tell if the red ones are ripe.

Very cool! Enjoy them in a few days! The soy grocery markets near me like whole foods, trader joes, mccaffreys, and wegmans carry red bananas and burro.

I did buy from miami fruit several years ago - totally not worth the price. I ordered a few items besides banana (monsterra and some asian fruits). Nothing was impressive. I'd rather save my money for a plane ticket to FL and eat stuff on vacation!
