I just got a Kandarian and looking forward to seeing it grow and fruit. Is it supposed to be a cooking banana or to eat raw or both?

I just got my pup from Leo - he's only about 20 miles south of me. Didn't see his Kandarian flowering and I think he said it hasn't flowered yet. In any case, I was curious if it was more of a raw eating or cooking type. There's not a lot of info on Kandarian, mostly just the same stuff regurgitated on every site. Leo's plant looked awesome, such a strong grower and the pics here also look super-impressive. Already got a spot picked out. Will have to post some pics of my property in about a year or so.
