It seems every time I ask what a banana type is at a farmers market, I get the response "cooking banana" or "plantain" if it is not obviously a Hawaiian Apple. I've only ever been to a few vendors who specialize in bananas and actually know the variety. Most vendors have little or no relation to any of the produce they sell, particularly at our Hilo farmers market.
