Cooking Bananas
Bunch of large bananas used for cooking, Darajani Market, Zanzibar, Tanzania
We encountered a variety of types of bananas in Tanzania: red ones, yellow ones, green ones, small ones, big ones. Theses large, starchy bananas (plantains) are used for cooking and are not really edible raw. Bananas are a staple of the Tanzanian diet and one of Zanzibar’s main exports.
Great post 😁

I have never seen red bananas. But all the others I know from when I worked in Ecuador.

There were lots of red bananas around. I am not a big banana fan but people on my tour ate them and said they were good. 🙂

They don’t look edible either. I once cooked bananas with ham, if memory serves me correct I wrapped the banana in the ham and fried it. I enjoyed it but have never tried it since.
Thank you for joining in our challenge it’s appreciated. 🙂

I think they use them in stews and cooked veggie dishes. They also make banana bear, but I don’t know if this is what they use. 🙂
