So, without further ado, for all of you plantain and banana lovers, we give you the Banana Bonanza Box! What’s inside? Manzano Apple Bananas, Red Bananas, and Burro Plantains. Here is a little about each. Manzano Apple 🍌Banana Cluster - These are like mini bananas that taste like a cross between an apple and a banana and believe it or not, are one of the most popular dessert fruits in the world. Red Bananas - No, they are not angry, they are just a little blushed. They are sweeter, plumper and some will say have a raspberry-ish finish. They are more pudding-like and have an awesome texture which you should try if you are trying to change things up. Burro Plantain - This is the powerhouse of cooking plantains. You can use them green or ripe for many dishes. It’s tangier than a regular plantain and when it’s ripe, it’s very creamy and citrusy. Definitely something to live for.

Malanga Lila is a beautiful root vegetable. Delicious, starchy and with a down to earth taste. How do you eat Malanga Lila? You boil it, fry it, bake it, add it to hearty soups like Sancocho, puree it, mash it, whip it and make some of the most delicious fritters that will make you ponder about your relation to food and how you could have missed this all your life. Although some people think they are like potatoes, we think they are way better and taste more sophisticated.When you look at a malanga for the first time, they are not the best looking of roots. The skin is hairy and bumpy and not very nice looking but once you peel it and cook it, the flesh turns creamy and delicious with a beautiful purplish, reddish color that will mute down to a grayish color when fully cooked.
