Bananas
Did you know that Bananas are really a giant herb? The "trunk" of this perennial plant is formed of woven and twisted outer leaves from which emerges a stalk. It takes 10-15 months for the bananas to develop. Our philosophy on ripening is that we want to bring fruit to you that is at the beginning of the "breaking point" of ripeness. Banana ripening is an art and is divided into 6 color stages. The FruitGuys perfect banana is a stage 5 -- yellow with green tips. At this stage the banana will be sweet and firm. People have different tastes and we try to provide clients with the widest choice of ripening range.
Enjoy and be fruitful!
