We have several types of banana here on the farm.  They are all out of this world good, the most delicious balance of fruit, acidity and sweetness.  A flavor you only ever get when you cut them fresh from the bunch. 

 This week, I learned that we had been selling spare bananas to the local mini-mart for $2 for a bunch of 200 bananas or more to retail them to locals here.  That would be about a cent a banana or one hundred times less than the ones in Starbucks.    Similar story for our coffee.   Such is life as a producer in the tropics!
