Tindok

It looks like an ordinary banana but it's the biggest variety i've seen so far. Gen shared some of this fruit picked from her relative's backyard. Thank you!

The name is TINDOK. Its nearly 1 foot long with a diameter that my index finger and
thumb won't meet an inch. Yeah, that big! I was told by 2 of my students it shouldn't be eaten raw because its tasteless.

It maybe boiled when unripe but you need to slice in pieces, enough to fit our pot. And when ripen, it's best to
cook when mixed with coconut milk. Ahhh, sweetened banana in coconut milk..great for an afternoon snack!!
