Family Fruit and Flower

This is my go-​to spot for black, near rotten bananas. You heard me. I like to buy blackened bananas, the kind most people pitch, especially this time of year when letting them over-​ripen on my counter means dealing with tons of fruit flies. Not only are they dirt cheap, but they are awesome for baking banana muffins, bread, and fritters.
If you’re looking for fruit or vegetables in general in Bloordale and don’t want to venture down to Joe’s No Frills, Family & Fruit and Flower is your best bet. They also have a selection of chinese tofu and staple goods like any good corner grocer and I always have friendly service. Bring cash to pay, because they charge for debit. In my experience you can walk off with a full bag of fruit and veg for less than $ 5.
