Excellent approach using something that is available locally in masses! Hopefully this will come general way in those countries where they grow bananas.

This has happened in local markets throughout Colombia for many years. Unfortunately the government @invimacolombia is trying to ban some products that come in the beautiful packaging, like traditional fresh cheese arguing that it is unsafe and lacks higiene. 🤦🏻‍♀️
