What they say about cooking it...

"Both the immature and mature stage can be used for cooking, but they develop an astringency after cooking."
Here's both sentences....

"Both the immature and mature stage can be used for cooking, but they develop an
astringency after cooking. When fully ripened and soft, the flesh turns fluffy and sweet,
hence the name Ice Cream."

For whatever the reason Hawaii seems to have more of an astringency problem than other regions.

If they develop an astringency after cooking, maybe it was because of the way it was cooked.


The Blue Java is grown and sold in markets in many countries,
so common sense would dictate there's probably a good reason.

Hana Farms grows and sells them at their market in Maui. They also use them
in their banana breads, hot sauces and butters. 808-248-7553
