Harvesting Bananas In Tijuana Today

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

Bananas are typically ready to be harvested late spring or early summer. The best time to pick your bananas are when the fruit is still green. After your banana harvest, cut your tree back to about 30 inches and let the stem dry out for two weeks before removing it.

This is Where Hawaiian Chocolate Comes From

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

From this wonderful, tropical and exotic plant:

“Lower-quality cacao beans often get mixed in with premium varieties on their way to becoming chocolate bars, truffles, sauces and liqueurs.”

Did you know that Hawaii is the only place in the United States with a commercial cacao production?

“But the stakes for policing the chocolate industry are high. It’s a multi-billion dollar global enterprise, and in some places, it’s as much art as business. There’s also a conservation angle to knowing whether products are truly what confectioners claim them to be.”
