Me too, but I am hoping to grow it out a bit before slicing into it. It's very small as I got it just before the end of fall.
With the temps here in summer, I usually buy on Spring or Fall.

If it doesn't bleed red, I will be looking for a true one. I am glad you mentioned that however, as I thought that only applied to Fe'i bananas. So, it's good to know. Thanks Frank!
