Its funny how these things work out. My Ele ele that bloomed in late August. I never thought the fruit would mature much less ripen. We had a few freezes in mid November while I was in Costa Rica. Fortunately, I have a good friend who followed my instructions and cut all the fruits for me. She placed them in the garage. Some Orinocos ripened and were tasty.
I brought the ele eles in about 3 weeks ago, and nor they are turning yellow.
This is roughly the same time it would have taken for them to ripen 'on the vine' so to speak. Therefore, does it matter how long they stay on the plant if the ripening time is roughly the same as being off the plant?
I know they are cooking bananas, but can anyone tell me how? Patacones, tostones, seem too Latin for this Hawaiian treat. Whose got an Island recipe?
Thanks.
