Maypop! The fruit of the purple #passionflower, one of two passionflowers native to Virginia. I learned about these in one of Sam Thayer's excellent #foraging books. A few weeks later, I happened to encounter a ton of them in a field at work! Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Thayer!⠀ They are pretty unappetizing at first glance, but the tart sweet citrus-y flesh and crunchy seeds are so delicious that I don't mind their alien-pod look.⠀ ⠀ #foodoutside #noviceforager #nativefruit #maypop #purplepassionflower #gooutside #eattheweeds #tasty #fruit #plants #nativeplants https://www.instagram.com/p/CIQMxkYD7tn/?igshid=1w8tf5hpdr5xp
