It is just like the other Gros Michel cultivars. As far as bananas go, they are rather similar to Cavendish types, but tend to be more aromatic and with a firmer, creamier textured flesh. They don't normally get mealy as Cavendish sometimes do. Locally grown (fresh) bananas are pretty much always better than the imported ones, so even local Cavendish here in Hawaii can be quite good in my opinion compared with the imported Cavendish.
