So now I slice, core, peel and store. If I want to mash them, like mashed potatoes or a pounded poi type food, or hummus, doing it while it's warm and softer is better. If I want to grate it or dice it or make fries out of it, it can go to the fridge or freezer. It holds it's shape better than most Irish type potato. The teenager ate one plain out of the oven just now, picking at it with two fingers. I had a handful of cubes. The rest is going to the fridge for meals later. I'm pretty happy with the flavor of this variety. Even the mature, not ripe ones have a little bit of sweetness, like artichoke hearts. More sticky, pasty in a good way, creamier. 🤤

Some of these very ripe bananas had seeds. This is what banana seeds look like. I'm going to see if I can get them to germinate. Banana seeds can take weeks to months to germinate, if they germinate at all.

Coming to the full realization that foodies come in various forms.
MY type of foodies are of the "historic cookery" nerd #community type of foodies and people who cook what they grow, #EatLocal #garden #farm #forage #hunt etc and not the "I have money to make people wait on me, therefore I am a superior foodie" type of #foodie

Ron Finley: Plant Some Money

GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD IS LIKE PRINTING YOUR OWN MONEY. - Over 20 million Americans live in food deserts – places where we have to travel, on average, more than 3 miles* to get access to fresh produce. The only way we can fix this broken food system is to fight back, by planting back. We need to cultivate our communities and grow our future.
