Now that you've seen one of the biggest Bananas, here's an episode on the smallest:
th-cam.com/video/Xih2EWGz85c/w-d-xo.html
If anyone wants to see an even bigger banana my cash app is 🤣🤣🤣
Out of curiosity were the innards of that banana trilateral? It's kind of really childish but when a friend of mine is by himself he usually tends to pinch the innards of bananas to separate them into the three sections.😅
Glad you didn't put the name to test
Fun and laughter
I'm my country they are also called "Guineo Manzano" which it means apple banana literally translated, I have that breed in my backyard. 😁
I swear, I was saying in my head, "Don't say girth, don't say girth", and you did it. Lost my shit for it. Thank you lmao
had to hahaha 😆
G i r t h 💀
Locally we call it "chode" lol
gorthy
SAAAME xD
This banana doesn't only have a hilarious nickname, it's huge, it's a great conversation piece, and it sounds like it tastes delicious. It's the full package, lol.
The full 'package', yes.
@@ericv00 Imagine repeating the joke
Would be an art piece if paired with jaw breaker candy. You can cover both end of the spectrum.
I see what you did there. Nice.
Conversation piece for what 7 days
I'm impressed that' it's actually all banana in there. When I saw it from the outside I thought it was gonna have a crazy thick peel and not so much fruit
a real show-er
Lol yeah no pomelo here
The peel is much thinner than I'd thought certainly. This sadly probably can't travel well.
I read this before watching, was like "I wont be suprised" and to be honest I was still suprised the peel is very thin.
Same
"buy a bananna big enough to... feed 4 people." I was scared for a second.
Same when he said “dual purpose” banana. 😂
@@ireallylovecilantro loool
@@ireallylovecilantro It would technically be a " tri purpose " banana if slapped that context onto it.
hahaha
It is probably high malic acid. That is what gives berries, apples, pears, and other non-citrus fruits their distinctive fruit flavor. Malic acid is less bright and more rounded than citric acid.
Thank you for dropping some that knowledge on me!
The main flavor components on the mentioned fruits are simple acetates
You: Cavendish banana
The guy she tells you not to worry about: Hua Moa banana
“Dual purpose banana”
I’m sorry
What a strange world when you can get demonetized for eating "phallic" foods
Eating is cancled.
A family member named Charlie Bananas died two days ago, the viewing is today, and his funeral is tomorrow. This is strangely appropriate.
Did he enter ladies from the backdoor?
I'm thinking this might be a good banana for making a split! Especially if it lends itself to the 3-way split easily. From there it should be easy to slice off the seed strand, and get going with the ice cream and toppings. Based on your description, I imagine it will go great with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, and crushed nuts.
Now....I have a dream.....
Funny from the start but honestly it's when you said "people like it both ways" that I genuinely lost it lol.
Size doesnt matter 😂
Its the taste that matters.
You never cease to make me laugh, Jared. It was freakin' hilarious and enlightening.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
When I was living in Brazil I could typically find 5 types of bananas in the super market, only one of them Cavendish
Banana Ouro (golden banana, small and sweet), Banana Maçã (with a hint of apple), Banana da Terra (sort of like a plantain but can be eaten raw as well), Banana Prata (like a sturdier Cavendish) and Banana Nanica (Cavendish), in many places you could find other varieties as well but these where the most common.
Banana Terra by the way is perfect for making an awesome Banana Cheviche
Sounds like Jared needs to explore Brazil next
I'm gonna need that banana ceviche recipe 🍌
@@madeline569
2 Banana Terra, peel and chop into small cubes, alternatively use 2 green plantains peel and boil in water for about 20 minutes, then chop into small cubes
1 small red/purple onion, very thinly sliced
2 minced garlic cloves (optional)
2 multicolored peppers, cut into small cubes (a combination of colors: red, green, orange or yellow)
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
3/4 cup lime juice
3/4 cup orange juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Put the bowl with the Cheviche in the fridge and let it marinate for 10-15 minutes before serving
Banana Cheviche????? Oh, now I'm going to have to search for that recipie! I am blessed with living near local markets that offer six too eight varieties of banana/plantain. Love them all. Too spoiled to resort to cavendish!
banana cheviche? Is it basically ceviche?
Edit: oh lord i just searched it up and i hate it
Edit 2: thought there was only 1 way to make ceviche
that banana has me quivering in my boots
Funny you say about it having a berry flavour. I have a large patch of wild raspberries growing near the house & they taste like bananas. It's not just me who thinks so, whenever I serve them up to friends they think I've done something to them to make them taste that way. 🍌
Nice!!! i'd love to hear what variety they turn out to be, and where they grow.
@@valkyrie1066 There is a gold/yellow type of raspberry called "Anne" which is noted for its banana like taste. But the ones near me are all wild/feral raspberries [and red]. I live in Perthshire, Scotland & the counties of Perthshire, Tayside & Angus are all renowned for the quality of their soft fruits like raspberries & strawberries.
I suppose I could try defining the cultivar that's growing in that patch, though it may just be a wild variety that isn't noted anywhere? Different patches all have different flavours . There are over 200 species of raspberries & 400 types of brambles out there & we have a fair few of them growing wild around here so I may never know unfortunately. I'm lucky as there's also blaeberries, gooseberries & cloudberries as well as lots of stone fruit like sloes, plums, greengages, bullace & damsons all growing wild nearby.
Awesome review! It’s definitely surprising to find a banana fruit that is in many ways preferable to a cavendish as a dessert and also in ways preferable to a plantain for savory cooking applications! Also awesome stop motion ad for olive oil, and a great reminder to order from Miami Fruit again.
Glad you enjoyed the stop motion, that was a fun evening. 😄
You have shown us the Big Chungus of all banana-kind, and for that, I am properly thankful.
I see a lot of different bananas in the local market, but the unusual ones, like really thick, with red peelings, really long ones (2ft or so), seedy, really small ones (smallest finger size) usually come from mountains or personal gardens, we are thankful for the ones that generously donate to your channel so we can see them or have their names or scientific names be known. 👍🏾
I found them in the grocery store as donkey bannana
LMFAO! I am wheezing due to my lack of maturity for "this" banana.
you should try the canary island bananas, some of the best bananas i've ever tasted! also if you do go to the canary islands, try to find the fruit of canarina canariensis
I'll try to get there one day!
@@WeirdExplorer defo worth it! The fruit out there is mostly grown on the islands (the pineapples can be a tad sharp though!)
Yes, I was just thinking the same as I watched the video :). I have also had them in Spain.
@4:26 wow, really appreciate the effort put into the sponsored segment and would totally be on board for more stop motion!
Right?!? His may be the only sponsored plugs I don't skip. They seriously aren't paying him enough.
Cracking the banana stem to open it is so much more satisfying.
agreed 👍
A giant banana for your mother's day episode... hilarious.
Ok, the meaning of the banana makes me wonder if people were using it for reasons other than consumption??? 🤔🤣
may they rest in peace
@@seansezz may they rest in paradise
Don't even want to think about to much.
Eating whole banana you will in the bathroom for many times,is very high in fiber that the reason rompe culo o brinca cerca( jump hedge).
@@roastingnerd8545 may they rest in paradise full of hua moa
It’s like it’s making fun of me by existing
I always take a sharp knife and make a slit on the "neck" (stem), most of the way through the rind.
Then, when I bend the stem back, the slit will snap open, and the banana will readily peel without trouble (or effort).
I find that if I do _not_ do this, the end tends to "mush" from the pressure of torquing back on the stem to force the initial opening.
"Some people like it both ways" hmmmm
Which banana are we talking about
Yeah, that's the banana she tells you not to worry about.
"Why do you have this HUGE banana in your kitchen?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. I leave it there to ripen. It takes a long time to ripen."
Butt breaker? Oh no what have u done now Jared!
"This is a dual purpose banana"
Ya don't say
Amazing episode mate. Hope you fed a lot of people with this.
This sounds like an epic banana. Why aren't people marketing this more?
Iirc it’s endangered :(
Capitalism..
That was actually a very good ad in the video. I could have watched it for longer. I like that you keep it simple, fruit man
You made a native Hawaiian blush but the Spaniards were on those ships for a long time 😆😆
I never knew there were actually people who peeled bananas from the bottom.
I didn't until I started making videos.. they are very passionate in their ways.
It's not the bottom when the banana is growing.
That is the flower end opposite the stem.
I always peel the banana from the bottom from where the flowers turn out.The better sweet banana ripe in the plant in that moment the banana peel from the stem.
Funnier thing is Rompe actually translates to Rip or Tear. Break is actually quebrar which means to break so it is translating exactly to what you are thinking lol
I think it just means to rip open at the bottom of the banana, not the stem, as he explained...
It depends on what country you're in - rompe can also mean break.
Let's not delve too deep into imagining how that banana got its name...
It might be that the banana was delving VERY deep when it got that name.
I thought that first but then when he talked about peeling it from the bottom end... I guess it's just the boring fact that you peel it from its own butt, and ya know, not putting it in a human...
Ask the Amazing Atheist.
I can see some hilarious ladies locker-room talk miscommunication. 'Ohh tell us more about your date'
6:14 ... Ayoo! Stop pointing it at us bro!
"People like it both ways" You're not helping... :D
Bravo good sir, bravo!👏 That was one of the best sponsored segments I've seen in quite a while. I've always loved stop motion animation.😆
Fully agree with you on there being nothing wrong with opening regular bananas at the stem end. I've tried the other end lots of times and it's no easier at all (if anything it's more awkward), and it doesn't remove the stringy bits better as is also often claimed.
A lot of people who've latched onto opening bananas at the non-stem end say it MUST be better "because that's how monkeys do it". Actually watch videos of monkeys eating bananas though and they don't have a set technique, they just rip them open whichever way they happen to be holding them at the time (very often lengthways).
I'd almost always struggle to open bananas until someone taught me to open it from the other end and now all the struggling is a thing from the past. If you like ripe bananas, opening them from the stem end won't rip the skin properly (or at all, even) and the flesh will turn to mush, which is pretty darn gross. You guys must be eating green bananas to not notice any difference because the difference is night and day with a ripe banana.
The main argument would be that the stem/peduncle end is much tougher/fibrous for the simple reason that it has evolved that way to support the weight of the banana which is often pointing upwards from the rest of the infructescence whereas the other end didn't really get any evolutionary pressure to become as tough because there isn't any reason for it to be. But yeah, keep on believing that we're mimicking monkeys if it makes you feel better.
@@nackedgrils9302 You "struggled" to open bananas? How weak are your hands?? 😂
The skin is only that tough when they're so unripe as to be inedible. Any even moderately ripe banana is extremely easy to open at either end.
Also I didn't say stem-end is the way monkeys do it, I said that the common claim that monkeys open bananas at the other end is bogus.
Wait, people don't peel from the stem-end?
@@nunyabiznes33 See video. Most people do peel bananas from the stem end, but there's this weird cult of people who've latched onto the idea that the other end is "easier" (even though it isn't) and because "monkeys do it that way" (even though they don't). These people are idiots.
We ain't fallin' for no banana in the tail pipe.....unless it's falling in love.
I once found and ate a double banana. consider it a co-joined twin gruit/ One thick stem inside one peel but with two whole sife by side bananas inside the peel. you could see how the two fruits had a common side like two hexafonal tubes side by side The fruit flesh was connected though/
Imagine getting demonetized for eating a banana
Well the yt algorithm sure seems to crack its way into everything
We call abnormally large plátanos by that in Puerto Rico as well
It’s even got a urethra
This feels like the banana equivalent of the pomelo, it's just straight up an entire (if small) meal.
I've opened regular bananas from the stem and the bottom. The only real difference I noticed was that I don't get as many of the strings opening it from the bottom.
I respect that generous pour of the plive oil. Not cheap
"Once when I was seven years old I sat on a banana, and of course that changed my life"
-Hugh Neutron
Uh oh!
For the better I hope
Big banana energy
The stem end of a banana is the bottom. Monkeys use the blossom end hence why people claim it is the 'correct' end.
They sell these at the local supermarkets here like Presidente, Sedanos, Fresco Y Mas. They are also grown in some backyards. Miami Florida.
When you said the butt-breaker is a "dual purpose banana" I got the wrong idea and 🤣'd
Stop motion! That's a great twist for your ad!
Lol, I also open bananas by the "wrong" end despite knowing about it for so many years.
this is actually being buried by the algorithm, i cant find it in searches.. instead i have to go your channel.. but its worth it XD
I really liked that stop motion part you did for the olive oil sponsor it was really fun and it looked great
Thank you! it was fun to make
When I was in Suriname, South America (for 3 years), on a plantagion, I got on one day a large banana called Gedang Radja (Gedang is Javanese for banana, Radja = king) which was as long as my forearm and as thick as my upper arm. It was a banana type, consistency as the Cavendish but much more tasteful, sweet and light and could be eaten raw (when ripe which it was, yellow).
Yummy!
I'll have to try that one!
@@WeirdExplorer you have to go to Suriname once. They have all kinds of Musa varieties, like some 20 types of Banana, from pinky-toe banana ("Fingy Bakba" aka finger bakove/banana) and several types of plantain (which they call "banana", good for boiling, baking, frying but not raw eating unless over-ripe so black) .
Some favorites: Apple Bakove, "Injy Bakba" (pink to red inside).
Also many Asian fruits and many types of Citrus fruits.
For tourists it is an expensive country, in comparison, but the flight is not far.
Good country for Eco Tourism.
I've been there several times, once for 3 years.
8:50 "its a choking hazard you wold not be able to do it in public" even in private it wold be breath taking kkkkkkk
The banana she tells you not to worry about 😂
Opening banana’s from the bottom is how wild primates (monkeys etc.) eat them in nature.
Different monkeys open bananas different ways - it depends on the monkey and the type of banana. Just like humans.
The stem end is the obvious way to open a banana. If it is reasonably ripe when you separate it from the bunch it is about halfway opened at that end before you even start.
Love your Devine shirt!
It’s great to hear that people like this banana both ways
we should try to genetically enígineer bananas to have seeds again, but instead of being evenly distributed they are clsurered near the tip/stem. that way we could plant bananas instead of using trimmings while still enjoying a seed free banana (basically)
Are they true to seed though?
@@brandon9172 no idea, but if we could plant them, even if they produce a wide variety of fruit like apples we would still have the genetic lineage if a virus wiped out our bananas again
Yo I'm a new subscriber and I've been rabidly binge watching your videos which happened to boost my fruit uptake so thanks for that! On bananas, you should definitely try sourcing some Rastali bananas, plentiful back in my home country and I think about them every time I have breakfast, having migrated far far away. A little bit on the smaller size but very creamy with a strong berry flavour, you'd love it for sure
Awesome! Thank you!
*cackle* I am with you on the it being really hard to not giggle through this ep. I may have sent screen caps with choice descriptions to a couple of friends while giggling like a loon. 😆
Olive oil meets Zigfield Follies bit was cool, lol.
Now THIS is the banana for me. Woof! Delicious. Will be buying one.
I now know a lot more about bananas than I ever expected to. Thanks!
IN THE POLES WE HAVE ICE BREAKERS. IN THE EQUATOR…..
Great job on the olive oil ad! Stop motion is hard to do.
I wonder why that banana isn't super popular, if its so good for cooking and eating raw. Is it difficult to cultivate or to store/ship? Really wanna taste one now! But its super hard to get hand on those things in central Europe (Germany) xD
Its quite large and has a thin peel, so I'd guess it doesn't ship well.
Yeah, Cavendish rule the world ecause they are productive, ship well and have a long shelf life. It's a shame that flavor isn't a bigger factor
Probably too big. A normal human being can't eat an entire banana of this size, so it's not super convenient...you'll need to cut it in half, then put the other half in the fridge...plus the peel of a mature banana of this variety is thin, gets easily bruise, so you can't throw it just like that in your backpack, short shelf life...
@@LeChristEstRoi should work well as baking ingredient banana, or frozen treat banana.
@@Call-me-Al Sure, but baking is occasional, it's not like people will bake some banana cake every day! Not even once a week...People like traditional bananas because of their convenience. Shelf life at room temperature is reasonably long, you can throw them in a backpack for a snack...
you're trying so hard to stay monetized and it's funny
I don't even bother breaking the peel from the top any more. I cut it off with a knife.
This completely destroys the "banana for scale" algorithm
"A duo purpose banana".My mind is surely dirty.
I just have to say that is the funniest fruit name I've ever heard.
The Banana, she tells you not to worry about
The olive oil ad was well done
Banana for scale. Nice.
Thanks for these videos, everyone around me has really been getting into knowing about the foods around us and it's all you dude!! That oil looks tasty!
"i know banana's is a berry" compares the taste it to a strawberry that's not a berry lol
Raspberry flavoring is often made from (or rather extracted from) bananas.
What a video! Awesome stop-motion, and the best-named fruit I've maybe ever seen. Ass breaker. Sweet Jesus. Ey, you did great not giggling every twenty seconds! :P
2:49 ...Yes I'm sure they do 🤣
It does matter if you open a banana stem end first because if you do it the other way instead, those little white stringy pieces go with the peel so you don't have to peel those off as well.
LMAO, eating this banana "head on", "you wouldn't be able to do it in public". just imagining it is funny
I want one....yum....oh..... 🤣🤣🤣BTW??? THX FOR THE CHUCKLES....LIKE WE ARE ALL BACK IN 3RD GRADE 🤣🤣❤️❤️OH!!! MY VARIETY BOX FROM MIAMI FRUIT?? AWESOME Ty for recommending them....cocoa pod is SO COOL ❤️❤️
The Banana is herbaceous hence the herb moniker of lor a fruit in deed
If this banana is in the room and my friend doesn’t give me the side-eye grin…..we not friends anymore.
What a way to describe a banana 😀😀😀😀😂😂😂 Where can I get one, I can wait get my teeth into one. Oh my I can make a massive banana cake.
You opened this banana correctly
Your check is in the mail
Fried in butter with a brandy flambe, ... oh my.
Banana with a core? Banana and Corn are converging like crazy
My father in law grows a very large banana in he Philippines. They are bigger than this one you have, about the size of my forearm. The bunches only have 4 or 5 on the tree. Quite sweet and delicious, also creamy, but no core; they don't cook them. His orchard is awesome.
