I only recently tried making and eating 'tostone' using a green Orinoco. I didn't what to expect, but I could get to like them.
I do have one Orinoco growing, but I have never tried it before, so I dont know what the outcome will be, I do have to say is growing like weed compare to the other 3 bananas Im growing, and twice as thick.
