It's a orange fruit with dark indigo-colored shoulders. Very sweet flavor with a surprising, tart kick of acidity. It requires minimal pruning and yields well, even in unfavorable conditions. Stunning combined in mixed quarts with Indigo Cherry Drops or with other grape or cherry varieties, but unique enough to offer alone and brand by name. Harvest when background color fills in uniformly orange and fruits begin to soften. Indigo color is derived from anthocyanin, a known antioxidant.
These are 2 little gems that were calling to me yesterday at The Busti Apple Festival. I believe this is the 4th year my parents and I have sold our Wildtree products outside of this event in a friends front yard. If you have been reading my blog for a while you might remember the apple that was as big as my Dad's face 2 years ago!
I'm probably going to eat a lot of it raw but might try and do a curry dish with the more fiber-eque parts.
What unique fruits have you been eating lately?
Wow, those tomatoes are so pretty! While we have really many varieties of tomatoes&cherry tomatoes here in Israel, I have never seen the ones here:)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some of the tomatoes that you have there!
DeleteWow, what interesting new food finds! I've never tried fresh jackfruit before, I've heard it is so delicious but hard to get out. I need to find some new fun fruits to try!
ReplyDeleteIf you find any rare fruits let me know! I love learning about them!
DeleteThe tomatoes sound awesome, great colors. And so fun with jackfruit, I've never tried working with it raw but want to.
ReplyDeleteI found myself eating more and more of it throughout the day!
DeleteThose tomatoes look so tasty!
ReplyDeleteHow did the jackfruit go? I am way too intimidated to cut them open by myself! XD I hear it is really sticky. Besides all the asian food markets pre-cut them.
The jackfruit was pretty good. I think I was the only one who liked it tho! We got one that was pre-cut as well!
