Well, hello everybody. It's time to talk about another banana that was kindly sent to me by Miami Fruit.
This one is one that I've been wanting to try for a long time because I've seen it and it has
interested me greatly, but I've never been able to try it. It's called the thousand finger banana.
It also has the name pisang seribu.
This is really a freaky looking banana, because they're really, really long bunches. Usually bananas
they end only after like a couple feet.
This one will continue down all the way to the ground.
But these are the longest banana bunches in the world, and the bananas that are in it, they're very, very tiny,
but they are edible. The thing with this one is that I'm not sure if it tastes any good.
I'm kind of assuming it's not going to taste good, because it is
usually used as an ornamental. So, here is a bunch, and you can see that the size of the bananas on this are actually varied
quite a bit. This one here is quite large, I mean comparatively. It's still very, very tiny.
But it's much larger than this teeny, tiny little one right here.
If we're talking fingers, this one is like a pinky finger,
this one is like a thumb or maybe like a big toe even. These ones are a little bit bigger.
There's a lot of variation banana to banana, and I've seen like bunches of these things where if you look at it sometimes
like the top of it will be super big and then it'll be small and be big again.
They can grow very oddly. One interesting thing about it
is that the end of it, like that very tip there, is quite large.
It's like quite a large, rough circle there. I'm not sure what that's called.
If you know what that's called, let me know in the comments.
Whatever that little rough circle is, you know, on a Cavendish banana
they're very, very small. Here's a Mysore-- I don't have a Cavendish handy-- here's a Mysore banana.
You can see that it's very small there. And on here it is quite large.
This isn't one that people usually eat,
that might be just because of how small these are.
So I'm gonna find out, see what it tastes like, maybe it's delicious
I don't know. But
it's so small.
This is very cute. This is like the banana that like a fairy would eat or like an elf.
The smell on this is a little bit like a banana, but also a lot like
straw or hay,
grassy-- that sort of smell.
There it is. You see the color on it is
pretty typical looking, about the same as a Cavendish-- white color. And this is another one that is
bite-sized so
should eat a whole one.
It's not great,
but it's not bad. I was expecting this just to taste like, I don't know, like dirt or something
because people don't usually eat it, but you could. It is sweet,
not as sweet as a Cavendish though. Like let's say like a Cavendish on a scale of one to ten is
a six,
right? So this one is maybe four.
It's less sweet than an apple, you know, there is some sugar in there, but not a whole lot.
There's like no tartness to it.
The banana flavor in there is present. It tastes like your typical banana flavor, not like a weird freaky banana flavor.
But it's less.
Peeling the tiniest banana in the world here.
Look at that: it's so small!
What's great is that this is just like proportionately about the same as a full-size banana.
So if you took a full-size banana and just like
brought it down to just this teeny tiny little size here.
That one is actually sweeter.
It tastes about the same, but it's a little bit sweeter. I'd say that's probably like a
six out of ten on the sweetness scale. So, I guess like it can vary somewhat banana to banana, and that flavor...
It's like a little bit grassy, maybe a little bit floral,
got hint of like, uh...
like a vanilla kind of flavor maybe. It's dessert-y for sure.
But the flavor of this is honestly like not the greatest thing in the world.
But the novelty value on this is incredible. This is like so adorable looking. They're so teeny-tiny,
that it would be a fun thing to have like at a party.
It'd be a fun thing just to like try out
just because of like how they look. Pitogo bananas, which I had last time,
these ones are teeny and cute and they taste really good. But these ones I feel are just like,
the flavor isn't quite there, but
they're smaller and they are
proportionately like teeny tiny little bananas, and the plant itself looks really crazy,
so I think for that, this gets a lot of credit from me.
I think this is a super cool one to try. So, I think that's about it guys.
I'd like to give another shout out to Miami Fruit for sending this to me.
