Do they taste better tho? The bigger the fruit, the more bland they are in my experience.
oce@jlai.lu 8 months ago
Depends if there was proper selection for taste. In Spain they have delicious big watermelons and melons.
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The melons he tells you not to worry about.

“Hua Moa” just sounds right for a banana that size. I can picture the person that named it making those sounds as a reaction to seeing it, and then just going with that as the name.
mwproductions@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“Hua moa” is Hawaiian for “chicken egg.”
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 8 months ago
If that’s true… It’s not a very apt name for it.
GraniteM@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Cab anyone attest to how these things taste? And is it possible to get one outside of Hawaii?

Yeaaaah that’s $177 for a banana, I’m good

Interesting that the flavor profile says nothing about the flavor, only the texture.
mwproductions@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Here’s a video of a family tasting the banana and describing the flavor.
tl;dw: The flavor is similar to Cavendish. One person thought it was sweeter and had “more banana” flavor. One person didn’t feel that was the case. The texture was described as “thick and chewy,” and not as “fluffy” as the Cavendish. Overall they liked it.

With a banana that big it definitely for sharing

It is sad that while there are so many interesting banana varieties all around the world, only two of them ship for crap. In addition to cool-sounding fruit varieties, one variety is so starchy it used to be the base starch the diet of local people instead of a grain, how neat is that?
jaschen@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Forget banana varieties, you’re missing so many different fruits that aren’t imported just because it doesn’t travel well.
I moved to Taiwan and found out there is a completely different avocado that is creamer. There is pineapple that is 10 times sweeter and doesn’t fuck up your tongue after a few pieces. You can even eat the core.
Mango season just started and there are 2 different kinds. One is (extremely)sweet and the other is sweet and sour.

500 kinds of mangos. 2000 kinds of apples…

There are also many awsome natural species, like the short one with pink fruit which peel themselves when ripe (Musa velutina): www.google.com/search?q=musa+velutina&client=fire…

Gros michel not looking so gros any more.
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Strange name. In ʻOlelo (Hawaiian) that translates directly to “Chicken Fruit”. Wonder if the jungle fowl eat it.

A cheater banana is a great banana and its great because its swole because its swooooole
daltotron@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The fuck aren’t we growing these kinds of bananas everywhere in overly exploited republics and then importing them into the US? Fuck the gros michel, fuck these petty banana snack foods, I want a banana that I can eat as a meal.
derf82@lemmy.world 8 months ago
We picked the Gros Michel (before it got decimated by Panama Disease) and now the Cavendish because they can be mass grown, harvested before they are ripe, shipped around the world with minimal special handling, be ripened locally, and can survive all that without getting blemished.
While there are plenty of other bananas, really only those varieties could do that. Bananas cost less than a buck per pound. Other varieties would have to be shipped by air with special handling and cost many times more.

I’d like to just grow a tree in my backyard. But I don’t live in the right climate. Or have a backyard.
daltotron@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I feel like the solution is probably more local banana

Gros Michel is long gone, it’s the Cavendish that we’re about to lose.
Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 8 months ago
Whelp, time to boot up Balatro again.
mwproductions@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The Gros Michel isn’t extinct, just hard to find.
antidote101@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I imagine less sweet and with the dry tang of an overly ripe banana. I imagine by the end of consuming some you’re no longer interested in eating this kind of banana again.
Lyrl@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It’s more likely they ship poorly. Same reason the tastiest tomato or strawberry varieties are not the ones grown commercially.
PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
If you googled it you’d see that it’s described as creamy and sweet.
