By purchasing this product you not only support ancestral agriculture , but also generate additional income streams for the farmers.
The special banana
Orito Baby Banana
This special variety is grown almost exclusively in Ecuador and is part of the Kichwa culture. Orito baby bananas are about half the size of regular bananas and have a significantly thinner skin.
The key difference is that they are significantly sweeter, creamier and more aromatic in taste.
