Taiwan JIJI banana

Variety: Taiwanese Mountain Banana

Season: Mountain bananas are grown at altitudes above 250 meters. The main growing areas are in the central mountain regions of Nantou, such as Jiji, Zhongliao, and Mingjian.

Origin: Jiji, Nantou

Features: Mountain bananas are cultivated in mountainous areas, where the cooler environment extends their growing period to 13-18 months, 5-8 months longer than bananas grown at lower altitudes. Growing on slopes makes harvesting difficult and the growth slower, resulting in production costs three times higher than those for lowland bananas. However, the large day-night temperature difference and well-drained soil in the mountains result in a more intense aroma, higher sweetness, and a firmer, chewier texture.

• The key to distinguishing mountain bananas from lowland bananas is the appearance of the stem and end. Mountain bananas have a short, fat stem and end. They are also heavier compared to lowland bananas of the same size. Internally, mountain bananas have a rice-yellow flesh, whereas lowland bananas have a milky white flesh.

Size: Thickness/10mm

清洗山蕉可以大幅度減少果皮上可能存在的污垢，而不會轉移到內部的果肉上，然後用紙巾將其擦乾。
建議：用架子或繩子把山蕉串掛起拉放在通風良好處，就可以防止山蕉變質。如果山蕉皮上漸漸出現黑點，就可以將山蕉以一根一根的方式，用紙類包裹起來，然後存放於冰箱中。若山蕉出現好點只在果皮是沒關係的。
