r/fruit

I occasionally get jackfruit as a treat from this Korean store, but found Mamey sapote there two days ago. Also found kumquats at a local grocery store!

Mamey: it’s definitely sweet. But my palate could not quite reconcile the taste and texture. I would describe the taste as a sweetened avocado? Like a mix of ripe papaya and avocado? Anyway, I’m glad I tried it, but I don’t think I’d seek it out in the future.

Kumquat: this was pretty interesting. I knew to expect a sweet rind, but no one ever said anything about the actual juice/pulp. It’s an interesting marriage between the super tangy juice and the super sweet rind. Definitely a complex taste combo and I love it. I love sweet tangy stuff so this is very much in line with that. Will totally purchase many many more in the future.

Jackfruit: the GOAT as usual. Just delicious.

here is today's morning fruit: strawberries, green grapes, black grapes, chikoo (sapota), elaichi banana

but you best believe this not even half of the fruit i consume in the day.

shout out to my wonderful adorable grandpa who takes me fruit shopping every week🩵 Thank you Nanu

It's bitter and astringent but edible. Mostly used to make jams. In Northern Greece many people use to forage it and preserve them in hard liquor that gives them a unique taste. The name we use in Greece in " Grotsia ".

Bought it from a roadside vendor on the way to Ooty from Mysore.can you help me identify this?

I don’t know how these are called in English, but we call them mousmoula (μούσμουλα) in Greek!

My aunt picked up a bag for me from a tree in her yard!

From top left going clockwise: Soursop, Red Custard Apple (Annona Reticulata), Hayden mango, Honey mango, Black Sapote, Mamey Sapote, Wax Jambu in the middle and a single Miracle Berry in the middle of the Jambu. Flash drive for scale. Found at Fruits n Cahoots in Davie, Florida. It’s going to be a hell of a weekend.

I was just having some grapes, as you do, and I found this super tiny guy haha

I've seen tiny grapes before but this one shocked me and I just had to put him on here 🍇

The white-ish center is hard as a rock, but when I picked it up, it was fully squishy and was pretty ripe. I can’t even forcefully stab a knife through it.
