Burro Banana Pro Tips
Anticipate the arrival of your green and unripe Burro Bananas. For optimal sweetness and flavor, wait until the skin turns yellow with brown or black spots. This marks the peak of ripeness, ready for you to enjoy its creamy texture and delicious taste. Some people cook the banana in its green/unripe state. Boiling and mashing provides a flavor and consistency similar to mashed potatoes.
