Lovely, creamy banana with a firm texture and candy-like flavor, with lingering sweet, floral notes.  Great for snacking or baking into puddings or banana bread.

Gros Michel, also known as Bluefields, was the main export banana of yesteryear, but was replaced by Cavendish when a diseased wiped them out for large scale production. Often cited as being extinct (not true) and delicious (very true), these are everything you always wanted out a classic banana: rich aroma with smooth and thick texture, excellent all around, and especially good for giving a bold banana flavor when incorporated into recipes. Certified organic.

When green, takes between 3-7 days to ripen. The warmer it is, the quicker it will ripen.

Grown in Haleiwa, Oʻahu, Hawaii



Storage Tips

For optimal life: Store unripened bananas at room temperature. Refrigerate ripe bananas.

About Hawaiʻi Banana Source

Hawaiʻi Banana Source runs its operations on the North Shore of Oʻahu and is managed by Gabriel Sachter-Smith. Hawaiʻi Banana Source delivers its goods locally and also shares its vast banana knowledge with a global audience.

Gabriel grew up in the mountains of Colorado where he began studying bananas at the age of 14. Continuing his informal studies throughout high school, he moved to Hawaiʻi in 2007 to attend the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa where he earned his BS in Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences in 2011, and his MS in 2015. During his time at the university, he helped to start and eventually run the Student Organic Farm Training (SOFT) program for 5 years where he gained hands-on experience in growing and marketing a wide variety of crops.
