Re: Mixed box of bananas (fruit)
From my box of fruit, I've now been able to eat the Verdin and Goldfinger bananas. The rest are ripening up this week.
So, I am not a good person to provide a very detailed taste report - I'd probably need 80+lbs of bananas and live in Hawaii to do that! haha
However, I did enjoy the verdin over the goldfinger. The verdin was sweet and custard like - it reminded me of a red banana and even had a similar orange/red color inside.
The goldfinger bananas were a bit harder to judge ripeness since the peels develop big black spots as soon as they turn yellow. The fruit wasn't harmed by the spots and I probably ate them a day or two before fully ripe. The goldfingers were more tart and had a similar crisp sensation that is similar to eating an apple.
Having said that, I personally think both types were more tasty and interesting than the grocery store Cavendish.
