Frutos Ticos

Costa Rica is a very rich country in the production of bananas. All types of bananas are everywhere you go. Strolling along the streets on the way to the U, I admired many houses with banana plants in their patios. Many of them are blooming, and the others have one or two racimos. Costa Rica is one the most important countries that exports bananas to the U.S. The bananas are named according to their size. Here we found the regular bananas one finds in an American supermarket. The small ones are named guineas. The small fat ones are named guineo manzano and many more. The same is with other fruits like mango. The small mango is called mando. But if it is even smaller, then it is called manga. So Costa Ricans have their unique way to identify their fruits.
