Do any of you here have a favorite way of having your banana?
I bet most of you want them raw and ripe but here in teh Philippines, we have some varieties that are best eaten when cooked. This cardava variety is the most common variety for that. We often cook this fried, some make thsi into bananacue, banana toron, maruya and other snacks.
Here are some of the Cardava bananas my mother harvested from her farm.
But for me, the best way of having them was grilled and we call it Ginang-gang in our dialect. Some merchants sell them coated with butter or margarine and white sugar.
These are the bananas I grilled in my mother's house. They are half ripe, that's when it is teh best to grill banana because it gives off a hard texture outside, but soft inside.
But I never liked it with white sugar though. I prefer to experience its natural sweetness It's best when wiped with salted butter too because the saltiness in teh butter and teh sweetness of teh banana will burst in your mouth giving a you a wonderful food experience.
Have you ever had this one?
These bananas are called kantong, best when eaten ripe but it's good to steam and pair with salted fish called ginamos and chillies!
The stash of my mother's bananas at home. She had bountiful harvest by God's grace.
These kantong bananas are from my workplace; they came from one of the customers as a gift because we don't accept cash.
Bananas have lots of health benefits in the body; I once heard that when a person grows low in potassium, he is advised to eat bananas often, but I'm just not sure which variety though.
I have lost of pictures of bananas in my gallery but it's so many that it will take me a long time to find them.
But this will be all for now, thank you so much for your time and support. Keep safe and stay healthy!
