Burro bananas

The burro banana is distinguished by its rectangular form and dark green peels. The flesh of the banana is white or yellow with hints of lemon as it is peeled back. The typical burro banana is 6 inches long and can be eaten raw or fried.

Burro bananas often referred to as "chunky bananas", "horse bananas", or "Orinoco bananas", can be prepared in a variety of ways, such as baked burro bananas with butter, brown sugar, and spices. The burro banana is native to the country of Mexico, according to Mexico in My Kitchen, and is used in a number of Mexican dishes. The banana can be roasted in a pan with the peel on until the banana's sugar begins to leak out of the peel. A fast, sweet, and easy dessert alternative, the banana is then smothered with milk, sugar, and savory spices.
