Ok It's been 19 days since I picked my three Orinoco bananas. I ate the last today and shared it with my 16 year old daughter. I asked her what she thought and she told me she could taste Blackberry. I took a bite and she was right there was a background taste of Blackberries. Has anyone else tasted this flavor in Orinoco or other bananas?

Several days ago I picked four more bananas. I left them on the counter while the last of the three was ripening. I will now split them up placing two in a paper bag and two back on the counter. I'll report back as they ripen.
