When he first explained to us that all fruit comes from like three ancestor fruit that really put things into perspective for me. There's tons of variations of any fruit we can think of. Our idea of them as normal is entirely contextual to our situation and environment
interesting tidbit is how these seedless bananas evolve when it's claimed they are all clones - genetically identical and therefore, vulnerable to diseases, such as Panama banana disease(?).
I would like to see a coffee table like book from you eventually with stills from your videos and each fruit species in chapters with your notes for them listed.
This is POINGO banana as we call it here in New Cal, it's usually not eaten raw, but fried or boiled, green or ripe. Kind of like other types of plaintain banans
New Caledonia deserves to have independence or at least autonomy, & I feel that farmer's markets & other places should still banana varieties more even outside of tropical areas (even homegrown cultivar thereof). New Guinean & nearby islands were the ones responsible for the varieties of bananas to come out (which started off having big seeds & were quite little), after all. Do you feel that new names for Melanesia like Lapitanesia or maybe (for short) Lapinesia could do as neat ways to honor the main founding culture that was responsible for the human expansion to Micronesia & later Polynesia?
In Hawaii we have one that looks like that that is called an ice cream banana. You might try Hawaii as they do have quite a variety of bananas and it's on the way home
Bananas change so much as they ripen that I always want to compare them when they are yellow and then when they get significant brown spots. I wonder if the whole thing would turn into jelly with extra ripening?
you and steven are a great combo - it's quite amazing to have a dialogue and docs hosted by a duo of fruit connosieurs with different angles. also, bananas will never be boring.
You can give the backstory your new ones being bred from these wild forms. Great writers say to add as much truth as you can even into science fiction and fantasy because the truth is the part that brings the immersion into fantasy as a stepping stone of already accept truth and realism.
the texture while you're pulling it apart made me think of Pisang Rastali!! It also has a jelly-like core and a sweeter taste, and my favourite type of banana.
Hope everything was okay for your visit, New-caledonia has been in a state of unrest for a while now, it's not entirely safe there at the moment. Of course this might have been filmed six months ago, so...
Our Mai'a Maoli pacific plantain banana does the same thing. I don't think patogo is in the same group at all. Looks like a Maoli. Kinda fat like a Popo Ulu banana. I grow lots of Maoli and my guess is that those bananas came from the bottom of the rack where they tend to be smaller. Sun dried they are simply the best. Aloha!
My father was a Marine in WWII and fought the Japanese on New Caledonia in 1942, and then went on to defend Guadalcanal that same year. So, I am familiar with New Caledonia, and interestingly, that my father picked bananas right off the trees while there. I don't think they were "jelly bananas", though. Very interesting video, and never would have guessed bananas could have jelly inside. Good to see Steve!
Thanks to your channel i have started looking for exotic fruits around victoria, australia where i live. So far after a week i have gotten my hands on a custard apple, a quince, a coconut, purple mangosteens, a red dragonfruit and fingerlimes
steven should get this guy with the glasses as a guest more often, seems pretty chill, maybe kind of a know it all though. also 3:33 you guys did this on purpose didnt you
That's interesting. Those look just like some plantains I have in my garden that we call "platano patacon" here in Costa Rica. But I don't think they get very sweet when ripe. They're usually used green to make fried patacones.
I NEED to see you here in Brazil, trying fruits straight from the food market. And going to Sr Helton's farm here in são paulo, you probably know his name now, he has the world's biggest fruit collection. The mercadão municipal is a good place for you to try different fruits, although you have to be careful and
Very cool, I think someone is growing those in Florida, seemed weird because I have been trying different types of bananas, and never saw or heard of one like this but I saw it in a random video
In a hispanic supermarket, look for little "manzana bananas" - manzana is Spanish for apple. They're tasty, but take a long time to ripen fully - the peel turns yellow when they're still unripe, so they're best when you wait until the peel splits - yes, hard to believe, but that's when they're sweet and delicious.
Did you ever tried Lakatan banana in Philippines? It’s the best tasting banana I have ever tasted but not really good for market because it it’s shelf life but the flavor is really good.
So often you show me fruits that look delicious and make me hungry. But damn, this banana. I feel like I NEED this banana in my life! Jelly banana looks and sounds to die for. I am 100% gonna restock on bananas AND eat some banana bread. I gots a craving that needs satiating.
In the USA, jelly is made of fruit strained so that all the bits are gone, while jam is made of fruit with all the bits left in. What is called jelly in the UK and some of its former colonies is called aspic, gelatin or jello in the USA.
I wanna have so many fruit trees in pots indoors, but at the same time, I'd freak out if I got any kind of pest :( I already treat my kumquat like it's a baby
I really don't get why we don't see a wider variety of bananas in the United States, especially since they're a fruit that is picked when it is not ripe (or, anyway, that was what we received in the produce warehouse where I used to work.) I would love to see something like this at my local grocery store.
Most banana varieties go from green to ripe to overripe in too fast a time frame to be commercially viable. Even here in Costa Rica where there are many good varieties, you rarely see them in markets because if you don't get lucky with the time frames of harvesting, transport and sale you'll get stuck with a bunch of rotting bananas. For most fresh fruit and vegetables having a long period of time in which you can transport and store them before they are unmarketable is more important than almost anything else if you want to make it worthwhile for producers, middlemen and sellers.
@@siggyincr7447 Not sure about other varieties, but when it came to the standard Cavendish that we received, we usually got them coming in very green, and then we'd put them into a special closed-off room that would get pumped full of Ethylene gas to help along the ripening process. This was our "gas chamber."
@@meisteremm that is part of why that's the commercially planted variety because it lends itself well to that process. Other banana varieties either don't hold well or don't ripen well when harvested so green as to make shipping them easy. Fruit companies have been working on developing other varieties of banana that would work well for export for decades now and so far haven't had much luck beyond a few specialty bananas that you can occasionally find in supermarkets outside of the tropics.
i have a banana plant called akebi banana.. not sure if its something you can eat or not, the fruit has so far became rotten before tasting good.. anyone here know if it can turn into something you would want to eat? so far Ive just used the leafs
Bro gave us the "full reveal" holding the banana into the camera exactly in the position one should hold a banana, huh? "Get in nice and close." "It doesn't wanna break." "It's a bendy banana." "Look at that slime in there." Indeed!
i would make a peanut butter banana sandwich using the jelly in the middle of the poinga banana. so it peanut butter banana but also its peanut butter jelly
@WeirdExplorer, could this be used dual-purpose, with the jelly being scrapped out and preserved for sweet uses, while the outer portion might be fried or something similar? And what about eating the peel? People do use peels, minced, to extend meat or meat substitutes. Could these be sliced, peel-on, and deep-fried? Or batter deep-fried, as thick chips? Serve that with a dipping sauce that matches, and it could be amazing.
I'm not a fan of banana peels.. though I do have an episode: ruclips.net/video/10J5q1rps74/видео.html Cooking is a great idea. I wonder what would happen if you fried one whole? It could be like a jelly filled doughnut
You'd think bananas might get boring after a while, but with how diverse they can be combined with your presentation they're always a great watch.
When he first explained to us that all fruit comes from like three ancestor fruit that really put things into perspective for me. There's tons of variations of any fruit we can think of. Our idea of them as normal is entirely contextual to our situation and environment
I heard there are thousands of verities
Here in Trinidad we have lakatan, gros Michel, silk, chiquito, mataboro, Moco and plantain. Those are the main varieties, there are some others also.
interesting tidbit is how these seedless bananas evolve when it's claimed they are all clones - genetically identical and therefore, vulnerable to diseases, such as Panama banana disease(?).
Chanceux !😊@@blackpalacemusic

It would need a chapter on coco del mer, and how he didn't eat it. (Along with any other fruits he skipped for similar moral concerns.)
Yes! Along with best application for use for each one.
I think i missed that episode.@@marlysalt

This is POINGO banana as we call it here in New Cal, it's usually not eaten raw, but fried or boiled, green or ripe. Kind of like other types of plaintain banans
I was going to ask that as it seems so starchy
Yummy I thought it would be better cooked. by the looks if it.
These bananas are great! Jelly-filled are my favourite. Nothing beats a jelly-filled banana.
Now if only I had my trusty drying pan, So I could fry a Banan.
Lol
Nice reference xD
personally I would have gone with a Stein's Gate reference.
I prefer a banana creampie
Looks delicious, and would probably make an excellent banana pudding.

Ice creams are in the Blaggo group. What he has there is related to our Hawaiian native bananas, specifically mai'a Maoli. Aloha!
Didn't those get a mention on an earlier episode?

you and steven are a great combo - it's quite amazing to have a dialogue and docs hosted by a duo of fruit connosieurs with different angles.

If I saw a Jelly Banana in the store, I’d buy it without hesitation. Thanks for showing us this cool fruit.
Dip that in thin pancake mix and deep fry it then put vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce on it! 😋
This reminded me of all the weird types of bananas I had thought up for a story about people working on a banana farm.

sounds like a cute kids book
you should make it
youre living in the age when its the absolute easiest time to get books designed and printed
Steven posing with the bananas at the beginning of the video is everything!
"Bananas are full of surprises, and sometimes they're full of jelly."
Phrasing.
A jelly banana sounds like one of the most wonderful things possible. Your description is really good.
When you microwave bananas they sometimes become Gelnanas, the whole of them turning into translucent green goo peel and all. Super fascinating.
This reference was the first thing that popped into my head when he said the word gel banana.
the texture while you're pulling it apart made me think of Pisang Rastali!! It also has a jelly-like core and a sweeter taste, and my favourite type of banana.
never knew about jelly bananas, very cool
Hope everything was okay for your visit, New-caledonia has been in a state of unrest for a while now, it's not entirely safe there at the moment. Of course this might have been filmed six months ago, so...
Well, they're brown...
I was there in March 2023. So it wasn't like how it is right now, but even then there was something in the air.
@@WeirdExplorer Like a bad vibe?
@@MonkeyBoy-sd9vc whats brown
@MonkeyBoy-sd9vc
What's that supposed to mean?
This was brand new to me. Thanks, i learned something new today❤
What an amazing find! Can't wait for the rest of the new Caledona videos to come out.
nice PFP

From The Small Banana to The Big Banana
You can tell how happy you guys are, eloquently that is.
Love this channel. Such worldly knowledge about fruits is never imagined.
The texture looks amazing.
Very cool - Steven looks good too!
Jelly Banana?! Oh no, it seems the worldline has shifted once again.

Oh my gosh, those look perfect for a banana split.😋
I wish we could buy those at the shops.
can yo do a video on those rubbery bananas, watermelon etc?
Land of the world's finest crows.
Honestly I thought the seeds would have been bigger because aren't more wild bannanas bigger fruit
Had no idea I would be jelly after watching this. And two people eating the fruit instead of one? Sneaky. wtg xD
I've never wanted a banana so much in my life as I want one of these now. Import them! I'll buy a plant.
Are these the same as Saba Banana of the Philippines? I loved the jellow like inside!
You could do shark week, but bananas.
Wow. You actually pronounced "antipodes" correctly. Nobody ever does that. Way to go, buddy.
Antipodes? Buddy, I don't even know dees.

Can't wait to go tot he store and buy a bunch of Poingas.
According to Amelia Bedelia, Steve peeled his banana from the right end. Well done!
Sooo banana butter and banana jelly sammich?
A banana filled with cream, fruit is truly nature's candy.
Now I want one.
It's on the list of goodies I want to eat.
1. Ice cream bean.
2. Jelly bannana.
3. sassafras
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds probably sells seed for that. Sassafras is easy to grow.

Confusingly jelly means jam if you're in the USA.
