Re: Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
Looks good Dan!
Btw I'll be harvesting the Yacon this weekend. The plant is almost dead from the cold snap we've had in So Cal. Hoping for a nice sweet crop! |

Re: Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
That's an awesome lot of bananas!
I think bananas are healthy and the best way for losing weight as a long term goal is to drop portion size and not overdo any 'junk' food like soda and candy and chips. But that's what works for me. I lost about 80+ lbs in a year and since I ate smaller meals, my stomach shrank so now I feel full with smaller meals and it's actually uncomfortable to eat huge meals. To think, in my 20s I would eat entire extra large deep dish pan pizzas by myself and was STILL underweight. Sigh. Getting older sucks. |

Re: Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
I'd question the actual health benefits of any diet that restricts fresh fruit. The vitamin, mineral, and anti-oxidants of fruits probably far outweigh any weight gain they might cause. The low-carb diet basically force the body into ketosis (which is what happens when you are starving) and it's not all the healthy a state to be in. Slimmer and healthy is the goal, not slimmer and unhealthy. Cut out the added sugars and refined carbohydrates, but for actual health (not weight -- don't confuse the two), eat those fruits!

Re: Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
The classic "no carb" diet is ONLY supposed to be no carbs to begin with to start your body into that state. It was never intended to be a state that the human body survives in which is why long term you end up with issues with it as a diet.
Fresh fruit is healthy. Natural sugars don't outweigh all the good benefits included in the food itself. |

All kinds of fruit are allowed --- except the banana! Except for the holidays, this is the regimen 7 days a week. I personally eat fresh sour cherries or a banana at bkfst with cereal - no more gout. Dessert is one or 2 fresh Honeybell tangelos while they are available. Lunch it's a cup of fresh blue berries and a yoghurt. I'm a b-berry addict. Din-din it's broiled, grilled or roasted meat or fish with steamed fresh veggies. No rice --- potato baked once a week (we split it), no bread or crackers. I'm down 2 pant sizes and feeling gooder - a lot. Can we get back to Pisang Klotek now? Will post taste report when fruit ripen. Dan the B'mal --- who is now down 2 pants sizes!!! |

I have a mysore from tony. I get all kinds of colors from the leaf undersides. I get light red.. Light red with dark red squares and bars .. Sometimes The undersides have no red color at all. This probably came about after the corm's growing point was destroyed? Im just saying with mysore Weird color variations are possible. |

Re: Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
Can a diabetic chime in, here? Bananas are FULL! of carbs!
That is why I cut my bananas in half: half now and half later. That keeps my blood sugar steady and helps to keep my weight down. No food is bad: some are just richer than others! |

As for availability it should be getting easier to find as time goes by. More and more people are sharing pups. |

Re: Pisang Klotek bunch - ready or not?
I *HAVE* considered raising the smaller bananas, but first things first. If I can get a basjoo to bloom, then I will try out the others. I live in zone 6.
I figure on bringing pups in from my Basjoo to experiment with, first. I have not yet gotten a banana to survive the winter inside! I intend to get serious about it next winter. Meanwhile I am reading all of the threads for indoor and cold hardy bananas. |
