Pacovã banana
Origin
There are numerous varieties of
bananas. The genre of the musas, to
which the bananas belong, must have
had its origin in Asia, but there are
records of the first visitors to the
North of Brazil, which describe one
specially type of native banana, so
long that they even get scared by its
size. It must have been the pacovã or
long banana. This type of banana
must only be eaten cooked, backed
or fried, different to other bananas.
They are used still completely green
or when its bark darkened and
becomes almost black, indicating that
its astringent taste has disappeared.
Aroma
A more complex, more acidic and of a
more fruitful taste than other
bananas.
Use
Scraped still green, it gives a great
porridge, very ripe, with an almost
black skin, can be processed in
banana chips. Roasted or grilled or in
purees it tastes delicious.
Classic
Green banana porridge and salted
banana chips.
Exotic
Smashed banana, accompanying salty
dishes or fish.
Unmissable
Green banana porridge.
