Long ago I mail-ordered a few boxes of exotic bananas from Seaside Banana Gardens. A mudslide took them out of business. Apparently, they're back on a smaller scale.

I finally had the money to subscribe, and they were gone. They offered more varieties of bananas than a California dispensary offers of cannabis flowers. The ones we know in stores are absolutely the most boring choices.

Depending on the import laws in your state, you can get some really rare tropical fruits.

At $10/lb, those are some expensive bananas!
