What an annoying process. Really makes you appreciate bananas.

Have you tried Manzano aka "apple" bananas? They are a super sweet banana unique to Hawaii. People sell them at farm stands along with the best banana bread to ever exist. I'd do another trip just to eat bananas and local pineapple again.

They are not unique to Hawaii :). In Brazil we call them nanicas, but we also refer to them as banana maçã (apple bananas).

I’m pretty sure I’ve bought these at HEB a few times. So definitely not unique to Hawaii.

Things can still be shipped. I think OP thought they were uniquely grown in Hawaii, if I had to guess, which they are still not.

Hawaii? around here you find them in the Latino markets, they're a South American and Central American thing.

See them all the time when I go to Brazil, but also they have like 10 different types of bananas down there.

Theres lots of varieties of bananas like that in climates where bananas grow, I always like to try any varieties I can find when traveling. I tried another 2 or 3 types of bananas just in Hawaii I remember.

But yes those ones are the most common after the 'regular' ones and are pretty solid
