K J - those look like the reds we have here - great tasting bananas as long as you let them ripen on the plant, and then let them ripen some more, as when fully ripe and almost soft, they are phenominal and so sweet. We always have folks ready to take the extra fruit off our hands when we have too much as the bunches are often quite large.

Many, but not all of my Dominican friends call them "Rulo",
which is a bit confusing.
I understand the term but it seems quite broad.
It would be interesting to know what you consider a rulo.

We don't have too many domincans in this part of the world, but I heard one call my hawaiians "rulo", but I looked into it a little further and it is what they typically call their burro.

Reading this article I found something about the pasteles masa that I used to have arguments about. There are some folks that believe the dough comes out soft cause of broth. I always believed it was the amount of lard that kept it fluffy/soft/suave after boiling for an hour.

So here it is in print ------- "1 una botella de manteca de cerdo o aceite (en cantidad suficiente para que la masa quede bien suave)".

So thanks.

Keith - I agree with you that people pick the reds too soon, and are then disappointed. You need to leave them on the plant until they have turned all the colours of the sunset, and then wait until they start to soften to get the full benefit of their wonderful sweet flavour. Great pictures btw!

Hola Cassie

What about "Rulo".

Sorry - missed that question the first time around!

Dominicans call any banana that they cook, a rulo. So Orinoco (which they never let ripen) and Saba, but they don't regard them as plantain (platenos).
