Halved Fruit
Halved banana is peeled fruit split lengthwise—ready for grilling cut-side down, sundae splits, or stuffed with chocolate and nuts before wrapping and warming. Cut surfaces brown and soften quickly; cook or sauce soon after cutting. Caramelise on a griddle for desserts; or bake halves with sugar and rum. For savoury green bananas, lengthwise halves fry or stew differently from ripe dessert fruit—label ripeness clearly.
