Bananas (Cavendish) 1kg - Certified Organic

The Cavendish is the banana you already know, and the one that does everything well. These are certified organic, with no wax and no post-harvest treatments.

Bananas feel like home in the Northern Rivers, where they've been part of the landscape for generations.

They're a breakfast staple in our house, and as the mornings warm up they go into just about every smoothie.

In the kitchen

• Sliced over porridge or yoghurt
• Blended into a smoothie with mango, spinach or peanut butter
• Mashed into banana bread or pancakes once they're spotty
• Peeled, chopped and frozen for quick smoothies later

How to prepare

Peel and eat as is, or slice into rounds. If they get too spotty, peel, chop and freeze them for smoothies.

Spring recipe: Banana, mango and lime smoothie

Blend a banana with a cup of frozen mango, a big squeeze of lime, a spoon of yoghurt and some coconut water. Drink it on the back step on a warm spring morning.

How to store

Keep them on the bench away from other fruit, as they speed up ripening. Once they're as ripe as you like, the fridge will slow them down. The skin goes brown but the fruit inside stays good.
