🌳 This season, our Bilimbi tree (Averrhoa bilimbi) is flourishing like never before, and I can't wait for this first major harvest! If you haven't heard of Bilimbi, it's a close cousin to the star fruit and has its origins in Southeast Asia. Somehow, this tropical gem made its way to Haiti, and I'm grateful it did! 🌏🇭🇹 The Bilimbi fruit is not just pleasing to the eye with its vibrant green color; it's also incredibly versatile in the kitchen. The tangy flavor makes it perfect for adding zing to salads, pickles, and chutneys, while its high acidity levels make it an excellent natural alternative to vinegar! 🥗🥒 But wait, there's more! Bilimbi fruit has been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, from relieving coughs and colds to reducing inflammation and even controlling blood sugar levels. 🌡️💊 I'm excited to share this amazing fruit with you all, and I'll be posting a fruit tasting soon enough. Stay tuned! 💚🌳 . . 🌳 Sezon sa a, pye bwa blenblen nou an (Averrhoa bilimbi) ap donnen tèt anba, e mwen pa ka tann pou premye gwo rekòlt sa a! Si ou pa janm tande pale de blenblen, li se yon kouzen pwòch karambòl la epi li gen orijin li nan Azi Sidès. Yon jan kanmenm, bijou twopikal sa a te fè wout li ann Ayiti, e mwen kontan ke li la! 🌏🇭🇹 Fwi blenblen a se pa sèlman pou plezi je ak bèl koulè vèt vibran li yo; li la tou ekstrèmman adaptab nan kwizin nan. Ti gou si li an fè li pafè pou ajoute zing nan salad, pikliz, ak sauce pimant, pandan nivo asidite segondè l yo fè l yon bon altènativ natirèl pou vinèg! 🥗🥒 Men, tann, gen plis! Blenblen yo te itilize nan medikaman tradisyonèl pou trete divès maladi, soti nan soulaje tous ak rim jiska diminye anflamasyon e menm kontwole nivo sik nan san. 🌡️💊 Mwen kontan pataje fwi etonan sa a avèk nou tout, epi mwen pral afiche yon video degustasyon fwi sa a byento. Rete branche! 💚🌳 . . #GrownInHaiti #BilimbiTree #AverrhoaBilimbi #Blenblen #TropicalTangyTreats #DiscoverBilimbi #TropicalFruits #TreeCucumber https://www.instagram.com/p/CqL2nm0u_CR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
