Loquats! A distinctly Florida fruit (but probably Hawaii and Cali too). Too fragile to ship the fruit, but the trees are sturdy enough for street landscaping. I have two that were volunteers and they’re both putting out tasty sweet morsels of goodness and Florida sunshine. #mybonsaiworld #bonsaiart #localfruit #floridafruit #freshfromflorida (at Adam's Art and Bonsai Studio and Nursery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvmzlDrAYvj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u09fya7owqg9

I try exotic fruit Part 5 (?): Strawberry Sunrise Papaya

Sorry if you’ve been following this regularly, because:

I forgot how many I’ve already done, and I’m far to lazy to check

I have not actually been updating this regularly

But thanks anyway!

This is a pretty popular locally-grown cultivar of papaya (or pawpaw) in Hawaii.  I haven’t eat papaya much prior to this, and I didn’t remember it being something I enjoyed.  Mum wanted to try this though, so I agreed, thinking my opinion might change about the fruit.

We picked one that had more yellow, and let it ripen a bit further on the counter.  I heard that if it over-ripens it actually reeks, so I think we caught this at just the right time.

The seeds reminds me a bit of passionfruit, while the flesh resembles cantaloupe.  The texture was also quite soft, maybe even softer than a muskmelon, and I scooped the flesh from the rind.  

Taste-wise, this fruit is pretty bland/mild, somewhere between a melon and a squash/pumpkin.  Floral notes were faintly detected in the after-taste.  At least my mum though it was tasty!

Perhaps my prejudice subconsciously affected my perception.  I remember a time when I used to think mango was unappetizing; now it’s one of my favorite fruits.  I have yet to try this in a smoothie or with some salt or citrus, which might enhance the natural aromas.  While it wasn’t my favorite fruit, it’s something I’m curious to try again.

hiiiiiiii doing the weird asks post <3333

32. do you write better with a pen or a pencil?

(very curious about this as someone who likes writing and knows you also like writing)

17. an earliest obsession you remember?

thank you!!

32. i definitely write better with pen. this year i got into fountain pens and though they can be scratchy i love it so much. but mostly i write with pilot ballpoint pens.

17. the earliest obsession i remember is Dogs. i played nintendogs and read books about dogs all the time. to this day i can guess any random dog's breed with like 80% accuracy.

The Himalayans and Nepalese Firethorn are also commonly known as Ghigaru. It tastes like jamuns and slightly dries your mouth. Antioxidants in this fruit lead to blood pressure and cholesterol control. It is high in beta-carotene, iron and potassium (a significant source of vitamin A). The leaves are used in herbal tea and sunburn cream preparation. In case of excessive menstrual bleeding, girls are given an infusion caused by steeping the bark of this shrub. #UttarakhandTravelTourism #Fruits #firethorn #seasonalfruit #localfruit #uttarakhandheaven #uttarakhandi #Uttarakhand (at Uttarakhand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMrideXhfjc/?igshid=1kde2gqekw6iv
