Grocery Excursions: discovering red bananas

It's Wednesday - that means it's grocery shopping day for me.  I got all my food that I'd need for the week, but I discovered something interesting that I had not noticed, or even heard of before: red bananas!


At $2.99/lb I decided to skip them this time.  But I have since talked to my best friend -- who awesomely has decided to do WW with me! -- and she says they are called manzanos.  They are popular in Latin American countries (she's Puerto Rican). I googled them and apparently they have a sweeter taste and softer bite than yellow bananas with a hint of a raspberry-like flavor.

WHAT?!

I will definitely be picking up a couple on my next grocery trip!
