cooking

Bananas mash best when their skins begin to speckle. Overripe bananas are best cooked in banana bread, muffins or cakes

storage

Bananas will continue to ripen in a fruit bowl and will cause other fruit to ripen faster

varieties/season

We sell Cavendish bananas, which are available all year round.

did you know?

They are imported by boat and ripened in Bristol – it takes four to five weeks to get a banana from the tree to your fruit bowl. They are a great source of potassium, fibre and niacin, have a high energy value and can help ward off cramps after exercise. They also contain vitamins A and C.
 

Banana plantation workers often don’t earn enough to live and support their families. We have vetted the plantation that grows our bananas, looking at its social standards and ethical policy. The farm workers there receive a fair wage, have accommodation provided and are given clothing and tools.
