Ae Ae Banana

[Les C]

Keep an eye out for Ice Cream Bananas, which may be finding their way to the markets soon. It's a variety that's not as popular, possibly because it might be harder to grow commercially. It's larger in girth than Apple Bananas but not much longer. It can supposedly be put in the freezer, then eaten like ice cream because it doesn't freeze hard. Hence, the name. The taste is reminscent of an apple pie with crumb crust. That's what a friend who brought some over said, and I agree! The Banana Boys said that they have a few trees of this variety, so ask them to bring some to Maku'u.
