thanks to everyone that volunteered to pick me up at the airport. i've got a ride.

 

here's another unusual tropical fruit.

jaboticaba... it looks like a bing cherry and kinda 'eats' like one except...

 

you don't eat the skin. the skin is tough and not real tasty but the juice that squeezes out of the fruit is rich like a bing. the seed is a small pit and covered with a fibrous substance. to eat it, you pop it in your mouth and break the skin with your teeth chewing carefully to free up the juice. then suck out the juice and spit out the skin. i think of it as a *tasty* snack rather than something you can fill up on.

 

the grower told me the fruit grows thick and tight to the limbs of the tree and it's a beautiful thing to see.

 

i doubt that you'll find jaboticaba in the market but definitely try some if you do.
