It is sad that while there are so many interesting banana varieties all around the world, only two of them ship for crap. In addition to cool-sounding fruit varieties, one variety is so starchy it used to be the base starch the diet of local people instead of a grain, how neat is that?

There are also many awsome natural species, like the short one with pink fruit which peel themselves when ripe (Musa velutina): www.google.com/search?q=musa+velutina&client=fire…

Forget banana varieties, you’re missing so many different fruits that aren’t imported just because it doesn’t travel well.
I moved to Taiwan and found out there is a completely different avocado that is creamer. There is pineapple that is 10 times sweeter and doesn’t fuck up your tongue after a few pieces. You can even eat the core.
Mango season just started and there are 2 different kinds. One is (extremely)sweet and the other is sweet and sour.
