Default Re: "Praying hands" fruiting--these any good eatin'?

The pulp of the fruit of the Praying Hands tastes and looks exactly like the Saba. They are seedless. As such, it is a lot sweeter than any plantain that I've ever tasted. It has a long shelf life, as well. The fingers are easier to separate when they are very ripe, at which time they can be eaten out of hand. Although, I would still cook them.

Check out the recipes on Jarred's (Mediahound) Saba harvest thread. Or, maybe he had a separate Saba Recipes thread.
