I'm sure there are some specialty shipping companies, but at the price of shipping, could probably fly to Hawaii (or Samoa, or Fiji, or Costa Rica, or Mexico, or Ecuador, or Brazil, etc). Any fruit market in a tropical country is going to have 10+ varieties of banana.

I have a neighbor who bought a commercial freeze drying machine, and I would say that freeze drying is the best way to keep the flavor as "true" to the flavor you get when ripe. When we get plenty bunches coming in we get maybe 20-30kg a week. We freeze them because things really slow down in the winter (maybe 20-30 kg every 6 week?). If can, I'll get some freeze dried and could ship much more affordably.

It was more of a joke, sadly. But I appreciate your answer ๐Ÿ’–

I have a friend with a freeze dryer, but he uses it to dry his weed ๐Ÿ˜‚
