Re: First fruit off tall orinoco
If you want to peel and eat them rather than cooking them you need to let them get really ripe! My apologies if you were already aware of this. Mine turn a nice yellow and I give them a little squeeze too. If they feel somewhat soft, they are good to go. I've jumped the gun a time or two and peeled one that was fairly yellow only to find them still a bit starchy, hard, and not too sweet. Another day or so usually does the trick. Of course, everyone's tastes are different too. Nice looking fruit!
