![]() I cut another hand of Raji Puri--still green but starting to get a little yellow blush. They are the best tasting banana I have ever eaten--not that I have eaten a lot of varieties--yet.
I am glad I learned about cutting one hand at a time--I would hate to have to eat 59 naners in just a few days--even if they are the best. |

![]() They are not as astringent as store bought naners when they are firm. They have a mild tart flavor when firm.
