These Organic & Fair Trade Smoothie Bananas grown by El Guabo (one of Equal Exchange's farmer partners) are riper, perfect for eating out of hand within a day or two of your delivery. They're just right for those of you who like to wait for your bananas to sweeten up to their fullest potential before eating. They're also great for smoothies or, if you don't get to them all right away, for throwing in the freezer for a future banana bread project.
We've heard from hundreds of you that you'd love for us to offer Bananas, and we're proud to now offer a very different kind of banana than what you'll generally find at the supermarket. These ethically-grown bananas are not a product of the prevailing global banana industry, which has historically and recently been responsible for ecological, social and political havoc in regions of the world in which bananas grow.
In the event that Equal Exchange's bananas are unexpectedly unavailable, you may receive bananas from another organic & fair trade certified farm.
