Ocado Organic Fairtrade Bananas 6 per pack
Product information
Did you know?
We've moved to paper banana bands, saving around 13 tons of plastic per year!
These bananas have a firm, pale yellow flesh and vary in size and shape. A medium banana (80g) is 1 of your 5 a day and their flavour is dependent on where they are in the ripening process;
- Green bananas have a more bitter flavour and grow sweeter as they ripen.
- Yellow bananas have a mild, sweet flavour and are ideal for slicing over porridge, cereal and pancakes or, eaten as a healthy snack.
- Browning bananas have a stronger smell, more intense ‘perfumed’ taste, softer texture and are perfect for blending into smoothies, muffins and cakes or freezing as an alternative to ice cream.

Recipes
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
2 bananas, peel only, cut to 5cm long strips, discarding the stalks
1 tbsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
1 onion, finely sliced
½ red chilli, finely chopped
2 cm ginger, grated
1 tsp yellow Thai curry paste
1 tsp ground cumin
120g basmati rice
2 tbsp vegan yoghurt (optional)
10g coriander leaves, to serve
Method
Step 1
Wash the banana peel then put in a large bowl with half the turmeric and pour over just enough cold water to cover, stir to coat then set aside for 30 mins, or up to 6 hours.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and chilli and fry for 5 mins, until softened. Add the ginger, remaining turmeric, curry paste and cumin and fry for 1 min.
Step 3
Stir in the drained banana peel and fry for 1 min, pour over 300ml water and simmer for 10-12 mins until the peel is cooked through and tender. Season to taste.
Step 4
Meanwhile, add the rice to a pan of salted boiling water and cook for 10 mins, until cooked through, and drain.
Step 5
Serve the curry with rice, yoghurt, if using, and coriander leaves.
Tips and serving suggestions:
Soak the peel in water for 30 mins to remove the slight tannic bitter flavour from the skins and to start softening them before cooking, ensuring they remain succulent. Turmeric adds a little flavour and beautiful colour to the dish.

green
When these arrived I needed to check I hadnt ordered ripen at home. Completely green and hard. Inedible. Looking at other reviewers Im not the only one to receive these.
hard and dark green and tiny
these are so inedible never seen anything like them
Great bananas
Not a lot to say here, they were perfect size bananas
Nice bananas
These are really nice bananas.
Bit of a lottery with these...
Sometime these are good but mostly not so great sadly , at times they are edible but dont last for more that 2 days. Other times as had already been said they are mushy and dark when peeled and does not look like bruising would look , I do try to buy Organic but its a no go for me on these ones....
Black Inside
Looks nice on the outside but when opened the inside was very black. What a shame. Ocado have a problem with bananas at the moment.
