Finger Bananas

These small bananas grow all over tropical Africa. They're called Finger Bananas because they're about the length of a finger, as you can see from my hand in the photo. They taste just like the larger bananas.

A bunch can have as many as 12 or 14 bananas. Three good bites and the banana is finished! A bunch like this one sells for about 25 Kenya shillings at fruit stands on city corners. That's about 30 or 40 cents U.S.
