Default Re: By request-taste impressions of local vs. imported Williams

Thanks Rob for the taste test! Dole organic bananas can be from awesome to totally bland,usually depending on the season and batch. The ones you found were bruised and somewhat overripe/fungus affected,they are usually brought in green and taste great then if the batch is good and till they get all yellow. Local produce always has more chances to taste better than imported fruits though!

GreenFin,i think our tastes are alike! I only like Cavendish at the ripeness you described and they do are awesome then! I can take more green and i am fine with the latex taste,i like it,but once the texture starts getting compromised(i.e. too soft,coinciding with the first brown spots usually),they are unpleasant to me. Not many people agree with my ripeness preference though,so i was surprised to read you like them this way!
