[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago (1 child) A more flavorful and sweet banana sounds awful IMO. To each their own banana nerd. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) Yeah maybe the description wasn't the best? Like, my apple bananas. They taste "sharper", and have a more authentic banana flavor, and are less cloying. And the texture is more firm, even when ripe/ overripe. Even when ripe they have structure, they aren't mush. Cavendish is disgusting to me. Like I can't even eat one. Its literally gross. But I can eat like 3-5 apple bananas in one sitting. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] egrets@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago Gros michel is a cultivar, Cavendish is a cultivar, Tahitian blues a cultivar, and "apple banana" is cultivar, but also an often used name for "unnamed cultivar". The difference is as big as the difference between a Fuji apple and a granny smith. They're practically different fruit. permalink fedilink source parent
