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.

That's a better answer than reading what John has on his site. His site is the most informative in terms of flavor however compared to all others I've looked at.. :^)

Thank you. Please let me know. I read where people are saying that they were closely related, so it got me thinking. I love DB, but there's a spot in my yard that I think a shorter nana would be more pleasing for the eye. With that said, If Rajapuri is not up to DB's quality, then I would just put in DB and live with a taller plant. Thank you:nanadrink:

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.

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.
