Default Re: top 10 Banana's by taste...

I have to agree with this list containing the best for the most part...


Someone asked about Velutina. I've tasted a 'ripe' one (as ripe as it can get before it completely hardens)... it tastes to me like very bitter celery. I wouldn't suggest eating it for fear of losing a tooth. lol!

My slightly different list:
1) Blue Java
2) Sweetheart
3) Dwarf Red
4) Belle
5) Goldfinger
6) Orinoco
7) Mysore
8) Cuban Red
9) Manzano
10) Praying Hands

Blandest flavored:
-also ones I've since gotten rid of-

1) Burmese Blue
2) Enano Gigante
3) Pitogo (tastes like plain mashed potatoes)
4) 1000 fingers
5) Saba

I have not tasted the Blue Java but heard they are good.
