Canary Bananas

History:
Canary bananas, known for their excellent taste and wide range of uses, have their roots in tropical regions of Central and South America. Their cultivation history on the Canary Islands dates back to the 15th century when they were introduced by the Spaniards. Since then, they have become an integral part of local culture and gastronomy.

Cultivation:
The Canary Islands provide ideal conditions for banana cultivation with warm and moderately humid climates. Banana trees grow in volcanic soil rich in minerals and nutrients, contributing to the rich taste and texture of the bananas. They belong to the plátano canario variety, characterized by smaller fruits with a very rich flavor. They can be consumed green, and are even used to make flour! They are sweetest when the skin has black spots. They are most commonly grown on the islands of La Palma and Tenerife. More about the cultivation of organic bananas here
