Default Re: Little Store bought bananas

Half of IDing is just knowing what the most likely candidates are. It's not so much needing to look at it and ID it from its traits exactly, but Sucrier is what is grown commercially as "baby bananas" or "mini bananas" by the big companies, so if you buy them at a common supermarket in the US, then that's almost guaranteed what it is. Occasionally Manzano/Silk will be sold too, but they look very different. The slight variations in fruit shape between yours and the others could be due to a number of different things, but they are not significantly different.
