fference to Cavendish bananas is the way they are sold, with plantains sold individually.
Because plantains are rather large, they are not sold by the bunch like other bananas, but rather people buy them per each, Schueller explained. We sell them in 40lb boxes, with each plantain typically carrying a label and PLU sticker. The market is pretty consistent year round although demand usually increases around the holidays.
