"Bananos Pequenos" - Tres Rios, Costa Rica


Click on image for larger view.

There are at least three kinds of bananas in Costa Rica. The largest are Plantains, the next size are the regular kind found in most grocery stores around the world. The ones I've painted are the smallest. They are by far the best. They are sweet, have a very think skin, more compact flesh and are a perfect snack size. Needlesstosay, their coloring is rich in rust, yellows, and pale greens.
