Re: Best desert banana
Thread title says desert not dessert....this should probably be changed.

Re: Best desert banana
?? I guess I'm confused then....is this thread about drought-tolerant bananas or the best tasting dessert bananas? Cause based on the posting here, it seems like the latter.

Re: Best desert banana
Dessert bananas in the desert? Why not?

Re: Best desert banana
Because if it's too dry they'll desert, and then you'll never get your just deserts.

Re: Best desert banana
Exactly, you'll never get your just desert of desserts if your bananas all desert you due to desert conditions.

Re: Best desert banana
Just had my first Raja Puri this week and would put it as among the best several bananas. Great texture. Like a cross between Dwarf Brazillian and Dwarf Namwah. Texture much like a namwah with taste similar to DB, but not as tart or apple tasting.
Have also been having my picked too soon Gros Michel finally become ripe. Also an excellent dessert banana, especially if you like regular old store bought cavendish. It was much like those but with a more complex flavor, firmer texture, and the slightest hint of tanginess. I can see why people say the cavendish varieties that replaced them years ago isn't as good. |
