Re: Praying Hands Taste Report
Last year I froze them and ran them throught out jucier and made a nice paste or ice cream. This review is SPOT on my friend.

Re: Praying Hands Taste Report
I agree with this assessment, Rob! These are so similar to SABA, I think they must be first cousins. I have harvested the latest bunch of praying hands and about half were separated from each other and were indistinguishable from SABA.
We cook most of them but when super ripe I have included them in fruit smoothies, along with papaya, pineapple, and carambola or whatever fruit we have laying around. Great review, thanks! |

Re: Praying Hands Taste Report
I bought a hand of praying hands from a local fruit stand. I think Rob's report is accurate. However, I wonder if the fruit I had was as developed as what Rob's pictures show. It seems like he got a little better experience than me.
I would say that this variety is not really great for eating fresh out of hand. To describe it simply, the eating experience is like a lack luster not sweet cross between Cavendish and Kandrian. I think that this variety is more about the novelty of fused fingers than about great produce. If I happen to go by that stand, I might buy another hand just to trying cooking it just out of curiosity. (Perhaps I'll like it better that way) I once thought about growing this one, but after eating it, I think I'll pass. Thanks for the report Rob. They are always a good reference. |
Re: Praying Hands Taste Report
I've had more since and the musty taste is really just contamination with the black mold that seems to grow in between them where I live. Get even a speck of that on the ripe fruit and it changes the whole flavor. Less of an issue when cooked. I think they're also better less ripe than in the picture in my report. On more recent bunches I've used more of them cooked. Certainly a particular taste to them that may not be to everyone's liking.

Re: Praying Hands Taste Report
It's funny what some people taste and others don't. When I had them, I tasted the vanilla flavor when they were ripe. I wonder if it is from different growing conditions?

Nice Bunch.............

Re: Praying Hands Taste Report
Great report and I agree with the taste. Similar to saba but a lot less dangerous to harvest seeing as my saba grew to 25 feet off the ground before fruiting, with a very large and heavy bunch (need to get me a cherry picker).:nanadrink:
