That's why I like plantains - they don't taste as sweet as Lady's Finger bananas (funny! Wikipedia also calls them Sugar bananas) and they have lotsa bites in them (think fibre).Sergei82 wrote:All bananas are sweet, but little ones taste very specific. Maybe, locals got used to that taste, or maybe I bought a wrong bundle of bananas, but I'm not buying them anymore.
They're supposedly sweeter (my mom likes them better over the more popular banana varieties) but they're also more likely to be acrid.BedokAmerican wrote:I've got another food-related question that might be better answered here than on the wine & dine thread.
I've seen batches of tiny bananas for sale throughout Singapore and I wanted to know what they are called and how they taste. I don't think they are plantains, but I could be wrong.
Here is the link to an example of what I'm talking about:

I've asked at the store what these bananas taste like or if these bananas taste like regular bananas and the people don't seem to know what I'm talking about. I can't find much information online either.
Has anyone eaten these little bananas? If so, what's their taste like compared to a traditional banana? I've been wanting to try them but they're sold in batches of 20+ and I don't want to be stuck with a whole batch if they're not any good.
Thanks!
