17 July - Harvested a bunch of Ducasse bananas (approx 80). 5 1/2 months since first flowering.
The bananas in the bunch are quickly ripening inside. Taste is tart, sweeter than Saba but not as sweet as store-bought bananas. I have eaten them fresh out of hand, or in rice pudding, where the tartness adds a nice contrast. Baked in the air-fryer (like a Plantain) they are OK, but the lowish sugar content means they are not as tasty as plantains. Probably a good general-use banana. Next up we will try to dry some, perhaps eat some in a banana-split, and probably try some pisang-goreng (they are quite a firm banana).
