Default Re: Banana bags...

It always amazes me the things that people require of growers to get perfect fruit...not perfect tasting mind you but perfect looking. I suspect that holding the fruit at cool temperatures to make the trip over here does something to the taste. Which leads me to another question. How long has Gran Naine been the banana of commerce? When I eat my dwarf cavendish bananas at my house they taste a lot like the bananas I used to put in my cereal 15-20 years ago. I think I had read that they used to use Valery and Williams at one point in time in central America and the Caribbean. I've also noticed that a lot more poor quality bananas are making it to stores. I see a lot of gray skinned bananas nowadays.
