Platano Canario

Platano Canario refers to the small Canary Islands variety of banana which is prized for its soft texture and sweetness. It was the Portuguese who first planted bananas in the Islands. Everywhere you look around in Teneriffe, even in some big cities are Banana Plants, especially where my mother-in-law used to live, we have seen plenty of banana trees. In the Philippines, we also have a small banana variety which is famous in Tagaytay, still in their branches, these bananas are sold fruits and vegetable stalls along the highways. They are also very sweet, soft meat with thin skin.
