bisayaboy, thanks for that comment, I had never known to differentiate between saba and cardaba, treating them all I guess as cooking as opposed to freshly consumed bananas… will have to explore that further…

Hello MM, in your binignit you’ve mentioned saging sab-a as one of the ingredients which is cool ‘coz it is naturally sweeter than the other cooking banana … the cardaba. But when i click the link… the photo shown was cardaba. The difference between the two is that Cardaba is abundant, the tree is bigger, its fruit size is bigger than sab-a, its just sweet when ripe, and cheaper. Sab-a is not abundant as its less productive… not many fruit fingers in its “bulig”. It’s much sweeter than cardaba when ripe but expensive. The same thing with the other two non-cooking bananas… the “Latundan/Katundan and Lakatan.The latundan when ripe has yellow peel color, just sweet and cheap, while lakatan has a little bit of orange in color, classy sweet and expensive… in fact, hotels and restaurants prefers the lakatan variety.

as i haven’t been home for some good years now, the place we found sells saging saba frozen to death. of course i still bought it and boy was that heaven. just eat it as it is (unfrozen)! Lovely!
