>banana candies

Taste a lot like like the Gros Michel bananas I had as a kid. They were wonderful bananas w/ great flavor but were almost wiped out by a fungus that currently is close to wiping out the Cavendish we eat today.

You can still find Gros Michel bananas as some specialty vendors like the Miami Fruit company grow/sell them
