So how much to send a mixed crate to Germany? Because all I ever had was “the most unripe shit, ripened in special container”-Cavendish. And I’m mad about it 😅
I’m sure there are some specialty shipping companies, but at the price of shipping, could probably fly to Hawaii (or Samoa, or Fiji, or Costa Rica, or Mexico, or Ecuador, or Brazil, etc). Any fruit market in a tropical country is going to have 10+ varieties of banana.
I have a neighbor who bought a commercial freeze drying machine, and I would say that freeze drying is the best way to keep the flavor as “true” to the flavor you get when ripe. When we get plenty bunches coming in we get maybe 20-30kg a week. We freeze them because things really slow down in the winter (maybe 20-30 kg every 6 week?). If can, I’ll get some freeze dried and could ship much more affordably.
I’ve bought stuff directly via crowdfarming, but all they seem to grow banana wise is Cavendish. They claim they’re more aromatic than the standard supermarket banana, and I bet they are, but it’s still a 100% clone of the same stuff.

It was more of a joke, sadly. But I appreciate your answer 💖
I have a friend with a freeze dryer, but he uses it to dry his weed 😂
Maybe this can help

I’m too scared to provide my shipping info to see the shipment cost 😅
I bet it’ll cost me my left kidney. Maybe still worth it, dunno.
Thanks 💖
Surely someone on the south of the continent can grow some rare bananas?
I bet they can. Issue is, our importers won’t buy them.
Perhaps you can buy some directly
