Cavendish banana is the most widely consumed banana worldwide. It
is of Vietnamese and Chinese origin. It is usually between *5 and
*5 cm long. The skin is green when sold to markets and later yellow
when ripe. During the ripening process sugars and the
characteristic banana aromas are produced. Uses: Principally eaten
raw, in fruit salads, baby foods, as well as in different processed
foods. This variety is also used as a dessert. Storage: Once
bought, it is preferable not to store in the refrigerator because
they lose flavor. Once peeled, they should be eaten immediately
because they will spoil very quickly. To speed up the banana’s
ripening, you can put it into a tightly closed plastic bag and
place it somewhere warmer, like on top of the refrigerator. If you
wish you can freeze your Cavendish bananas. You should peel them
and place them in plastic bags. Bananas can be preserved frozen for
up to six months. Nutritional and medicinal characteristics:
Bananas are a very complete food, easy to digest for people of all
ages, especially if eaten after a light meal or as a snack. They
are also one of the most nutritional and preferred kids’ foods. In
contrast to the belief that bananas are fattening, they are
actually quite valued in weight loss diets. Their light flavour
transmits all of their vitamin and mineral potential. They are
sources of vitamin A, B, C, E, calcium, magnesium, silicium,
phosphorous, sulphur, iron and sodium, also they are especially
rich in vitamin B6, folic acid and potassium, which makes it an
ideal food for sports players and children. Bananas are an
excellent cure. It is believed that they efficiently act against
the following health problems: general weakness, anaemia, stomach
problems, rheumatism, constipation, kidney stones, hepatitis,
obesity, oedema, nephritis, hemorrhoids, cholesterol, etc. They
contain an important percentage of carbohydrates, dextrose,
levitosa, saccharose and a certain amount of vitamin A, as well as
ascorbic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and a variable
quantity of minerals, calcium, phosphorous, potassium and iron. The
proportion depends on the variety, quality, and ripeness of the
fruit. Growing season: all year round. Post- harvesting In the
cultivation of the BANANA, we follow the rigorous procedures
recommended to achieve the best quality fruit. That includes the
following steps: • Diameter of the fruit: measurement of the
thickness of the fruit according to the required specifications of
the client and to determine the physiological state of the fruit. •
Harvesting: the cutting of the stalk is done at the recommended
height of the psuedostem and the cut is made horizontally to reduce
the spillage of latex. • Moving: the moving of the stalks is done
by qualified personnel trained in preserving the quality of the
fruit. • Selection: the fruit is classified depending on the
various categories of quality; the bananas are selected in
accordance with the ranges of quality as specified by each client.
• Deflowering: the flowers are picked off the ends of the bananas,
starting from the bottom and moving upwards to reduce the
possibility of latex. • Cutting: the clusters are removed from the
stalk taking care not to damage the stems of the bananas, and
damaged bananas are removed. • Washing: the washing time is
approximately *5 to *8 minutes, with an abundant flow of water to
eliminate the latex. • Fumigation: fumigation is done to
principally avoid an anthracnose attack which lessens the quality
of the fruit. • Drying: drying is done to prevent spoilage and to
heal the cuts on the stems. • Weight and stickering: bananas are
weighed and placed on trays until they have been filled with the
required weight. Then they are stickered. • Packing: a plastic bag
is placed in a banana box and a heavy paper division is placed in
the bag. Then the bananas are packed following a low packing
pattern, meaning that over-crowding is avoided. Lastly, the
existing air is sucked out of the bag of bananas and the top of the
bag is rubber banded shut. • Transport: the banana boxes are put on
to pallets: this makes storage and moving easier. • Port
verification: before loading onto the shipping vessel a last
verification of the product is done taking into account the
requirements of each client. Nutritional information: 1 regular

banana rated the best quality banana and the most environmentally
friendly? Banana cultivation requires special climate and soil
characteristics, among those being: - An average temperature of *5°
C (*7° F). - Regular monthly precipitation between **0 to **0 mm. -
Light is important to guarantee photosynthetic activity in the
plant. - Winds that do not exceed *0 km per hour. - Flat and
fertile terrain with good drainage, and a pH of between 6 and 6.5
Ecuador is a privileged country as far as these conditions go.
Average temperatures are inferior to those of the Caribbean and
there is a relatively dry season. This relates to a lesser
occurrence of plagues: the number of necessary fumigations to
maintain the quality of the fruit for exportation is substantially
fewer (*5 to *0 times per year) compared with other banana
cultivating regions like Central America and the Caribbean which
require up to *0 fumigations annually. Ecuador has an optimum
amount of daylight due to its location in the middle of the world.
Ecuador does not suffer from natural phenomenon like hurricanes,
tropical cyclones/typhoons, or strong/damaging winds. The banana
plantations are located in tropical/humid regions with flat and
fertile terrain. The ground where the banana is planted is of
excellent texture, and among other qualities very permeable soil
which practically eliminates the possibility of soil erosion. In
contrast to other countries, Ecuador does not need an elevated
application of fertilizers which means that the Ecuadorian banana
plantations have a minimal impact on the environment. Finally,
Ecuador has regulations and permanent controls in place with
regards to labour laws governing banana producers and workers. All
of these conditions contribute to the Ecuadorian banana being
recognized for its quality, taste, and preferred by the most
demanding markets of Europe, Asia and North America. This is why
Ecuador is the #1 exporter of bananas worldwide.
