Re: Do Brazilians and Rajapuri taste a like?
To me yes, but I haven't tasted a lot of Rajapuri and I haven't compared ones grown in the exact same conditions. Once the bunches of both that are hanging in my yard ripen, I'll be able to give you a more informed answer. They are closely related, so you'd expect them to be similar in flavor. Kepler and Rust say Dwarf Brazilian is better.

Re: Do Brazilians and Rajapuri taste a like?
It's similar but also quite distinct. It has a texture more like a namwah to me, kind of rubbery. It's certainly one of the better ones I've tasted. I'd say its worth planting just to have some variety.

Re: Do Brazilians and Rajapuri taste a like?
I think the flesh color and texture are different as well. I've eaten them from the same farm and I preferred the brazilians. They both taste fine, but the texture of rajapuri just doesn't suit me. However, Raja Puri is very easy to harvest.
