Besides the Cavendish banana, we also sell Chiquita Minis, Chiquita Plantains, Chiquita Manzanos and Chiquita Reds. For example, while Chiquita Minis are tiny, tangy and tasty – actually an entirely different variety of banana altogether, Chiquita Plantains look like an over-sized banana and is consumed normally grilled or baked.
