How many bananas are there in a bunch of bananas?

The bunches The average weight of the banana pineapples on our farm is 50 kgs, with specimens weighing over 70 kgs. In each bunch we can find between 200 and 250 bananas, but we never really count them. What’s in a pineapple are the banana hands, which are usually between 13 and 17 hands. And what is packed in boxes for distribution is half of each hand, i.e. a handle of bananas.

Are there discounts for residents, siblings, associations or educational centres?

We are particularly sensitive to our environment and therefore facilitate the arrival of Canarian residents, families with children and social groups.

We have a rustic style unisex restroom next to the tasting area, accessible to people with reduced mobility.
