Re: Lakatan taste report
Sounds like we are talking about the same fruit then. I've noticed before with other fruit that pictures never seem to capture the color just right. The fruit is more orange than it looks in the picture, and now that they are very ripe, even the peel has more of an orange color to it than most bananas, certainly than cavendish types. It's definitely not white. It's as orange as an Iholena or Hua Moa. I imagine the difference has a lot to do with the difference in where it is grown as you state. Brazilians in HI are definitely more tasty and creamy than in Brazil.
I'd agree with you that the one I am tasting is firmer than a US market cavendish (or did you mean US grown cav?) with a similar texture.
Kepler and Rust state that the Jamaican one is a cavendish type and that the one from the Philippines has uniquely rounded buds at the tip (both male and female stages).
