![]() 8 kinds of bananas here and it's hard to pick my favorite. Only one (the Fei) is from the market. The others were from growers and the ditch.

![]() The Tuu Ghia is really good. It almost has a faint violet candy flavor.
The Manini and Iholena are great. Everybody really liked those when I cooked them up. They Mysore is very good too. I guess I like them all except for the Namwa.

I really like the taste of Manini too - was my favorite when I tasted several different ones together last year. Thanks for all of the info! |

![]() Sometimes have them at the Wednesday Hilo market. Carter grows them too, so check with him. Maybe he doesn't sell those through the store?
