I do know what they are!
Each banana has those individuals flowers at the tip of the banana fruits. As the bunch matures, these will wither and dry. A good way to know when to cut the whole bunch is when all of the little tip flowers dry up and fall off to the touch.
Also... I may be too early to tell, but are you sure these are bananas? They look a bit like plantains or a hybrid.

Thanks for the tip.
Yes, these are bananas and we had enjoyed them for a while now. We have so many different kinds of bananas here in El Salvador, and these are pretty small but chubby bananas and very, very sweet. One of our favorites.
Thank you for clarifying and that makes total sense. I know exactly which variety you are talking about. They are small and sweet, and small bunches. Around here they are called "minimos."
