What the!

Is that a turd in your hand? Are you seriously going to eat that? What the!

NO, IT'S A SOAKED BANANA!

It may look like something you wouldn't even pick up, let alone put it in your mouth, but this soaked dried banana is actually a delicious treat between meals.

The banana's are soaked in a rich dark sugar syrup for a couple of days then placed on racks of bamboo to dry. The process takes about five days depending on the weather. The result is a chewy, sweet, tangy sensation that gives a warming to the belly and leaves a rich caramelized flavour in your mouth.

Often seen around town in a lighter shade of brown, the darker almost blackened banana's came from the organic market. To my mind they are a better product than the lighter non organic, due to greater care being taken as they are not mass produced or maybe the banana's themselves hold better flavour (characteristic of organic produce) and a higher sugar content.
