Have You Ever Eaten a Guilt Free Banana?

On my trip to the Canary Islands I had myself a guilt free banana.

I define a guilt free banana as one that is produced close to where you purchased it, and the farmers producing it must have received a fair price.  The Canary Islands have a banana growers union (fair price for farmers), and the farms for these bananas are visible from the highway I took on my way into town.

So therefore I can eat this banana without any guilt at all.  I guess you're wondering if a guilt free banana tastes any different.  The answer surprisingly is yes.  The difference between a banana that ripens on the tree and one that ripens on a truck is huge, it's much creamier and much tastier.

On a second note, did you know that banana trees have flowers?
