Covid Cafe: Bananagrams


Good day, chefs. Carly from Orlando wrote us about her monster banana tree, which brings new meaning to the idea of a flourishing plant. 

My dad gave us this banana plant a year and a half ago (it was only ~2 feet tall at the time) and now we finally have bananas! We have two bunches growing currently. Once we harvest these, we’ll cut down the two tall stems and leave a couple of the suckers (you’ll notice a couple small stems at the base of the plant) that will produce the next bananas.

I see lots of smoothies, banana bread, and pancakes in our future! Luckily the bananas are supposed to ripen from the top down so we shouldn’t have hundreds of ripe bananas at once (fingers crossed).

(I’m envisioning a Cuisinart banana daiquiri festival…)
