I wonder if Cardaba really is the same as Saba 2 "Compact" -- maybe yet another cultivar in the Saba subgroup? The flavor of the Cardaba I had wasn't great. It's described in a Philippine guide on banana varieties as being astringent even when ripe. I'd agree with that. And it has that (for me) off putting fluffy/spongy texture that Orinoco has.
Thanks for the report on Dippig and Saba 2.
