Since they are common to cultures who fry them I assume at this point that they were grown as a plantain in south Florida later becoming ornamental to northerners moving to Florida. I don't know of any person to like them ripe. Most northerners don't know how to cook a banana. The Jamaicans here call them frog banana. So at this point I am going to assume the Orinoco is another south Florida migrant commonly fried in that culture.
