Manzanos are $2 a pound now...
Whenever I go to the Asian market I try to get some bananas from Thailand.They are short 'finger size' and have a thin skin. Typically, it's best to keep them in plastic and wait for the skin to split to indicate they are ripe.
Last night I see the local Publix grocery has finger bananas from Colombia that look like dwarfed bananas of the variety normally sold here that sell anywhere between 65 cents to 80 cents per pound. When fully ripened, the Manzanos are sweeter than normal bananas but cost prohibitive at $2 a pound.
The ones in the store are slightly distress and look nothing like the ones on Chiquita's website.
