>>15791858
:)

>>15791837
I had an apple from a tree that was supposedly planted in 1901.

>>15791837
That fruit (Noni) tastes literally like vomit

>>15792083
noni!?

>>15792069
Any discernable difference?

>>15792147
It tasted older

>>15792037
I have, a few times. It is good but not THAT good.
It's way too small, like eating a tiny but very tasty cotton candy.

theyre actually not that bad

I just got a crate of Gros Michel bananas from Miami Fruit, can't wait until they're ripe!

>>15791858
nice figpost

>>15791848
i used to pick those as a kid and eat them
they're only rare in east coast shitholes

>>15791858
what about your weenus peanus

>>15792538
how the fuck do they still have these, i thought the blight killed em all

>>15791837
Starfruit
>>15791858
Undescribably based

>>15791837
that shit tastes like vomit but people keep saying it's good for your health

>>15792538
oh! guineo verde, you can make a great ceviche with those.

>>15792724
bruh I live in fucking canada and can buy prickly pear at the grocer. they're not rare at all.

>>15792777
are you in an east coast shithole or the based part of canada

>>15792777
checked and grocerpilled

>>15792799

>>15792777
Trips confirms

>>15792538
this and pig milk are probably the two rarest things I've ever eaten

>>15791858
wew lad

>>15792880
really not rare at all in the midwest, I love pawpaw season

>>15792738
Very carefully quarantined groves. So long as all vectors for the blight are obstructed, the plants are safe. Can't mass market them, though. Too expensive to protect at that level. So, the Gros Michel may never go extinct, but it will always be at risk unless they figure out a way to deal with the blight.

>>15791858
holy fuck relax

>>15792905
they'll just genetically engineer them at some point in the next 50 years.

>>15791837
Grapes

>>15791858

>>15792083
lel and it's funny it only grows on shit hole countries like South America

>>15791837
Jackfruit

>>15792856
pilk?

i once ate a cashew fruit

>>15792777
>>15792724
Did I say they were rare, shithead? No, I just said that’s probably the most uncommon fruit I’ve eaten. Suck a couple pimple covered dicks

>>15793020
east coast shitholer detected

>>15791837
anyone tried a Miracle Fruit?
apparently it's a fruit that temporarily changes how your tastebuds perceive taste.
I saw advertisements for a couple of restaurants in Japan that specialize in the fruit, serving it with things like a glass of vinegar to drink, hot chillies, limes etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jApBsHwq1UA

looking into it further the yanks banned it seemingly for no reason other than big corporate didnt want to risk losing money, lmao.
fucking fags.

>>15792738
>>15792905
just send some seeds over here to Australia.
we dont have any of the diseases or pests you cunts have.
that's why our produce is so highly sought after.

>>15793097
I tried it years ago but never heard much of it after. Worked for me but not dramatically. Did the whole "eat a lemon" thing and it was fairly sweet but vinegary things weren't very good.

A raw bletted (frozen) quince off the bush. Quince isn't too rare but I doubt many people eat them this way nowadays. It was delicious.

>>15791837
>try rare fruits
>always ends up tasting like shit
:/

>>15791837
Rarest for me? Lychees but they were canned, don't remember them being anything out of the ordinary, nice but alright.

Rarest for this site I'd have to say mangosteen, probably my favorite fruit but its kinda expensive.

>>15791858
Bitch please

>>15792506
Don’t these smell like fucking grave?

>>15793453
Based mangosteen anon. While in Malaysia, a local friend put me on. Holy shit is this fruit delicious. Found some in Singapore Chinatown and it was filled with maggots.

>>15791858

Any y'all niggas ever had a pawpaw

>>15792724
The east coast is the only important part of this shithole country faggot

>>15792828
Isn’t British Columbia based? I’d love to move there.

wax apple or custard apple when I was in Taiwan

Kiwi (they are from places like New Zealand)

>>15791848
They are banned in Australia.

Alcha, from Azerbaijan.
If you go to Baku in spring, there are people selling them everywhere on the streets.

Pretty good. Slightly sour and crisp like a green apple. They have a pit though.

Persimmons. Grandma would slice them and dry them for us but most people have never even heard of them.
>>15791858
based

>>15794116
>most people have never even heard of them
can literally be found at any grocery store. please pluck your head from your ass.

>>15794116
Their not unheard of. Its just common sense for people to not talk about something groos they hate.
I love persimmons thou

>>15793102
>that's why our produce is so highly sought after.
Nobody wants your beef or produce raised on sand instead of soil.

>>15791837
If you're not going to eat that eyeball pear I suggest you give it to someone who will

>>15792738

I remember reading that they're fairly common in Southeast Asia, but they generally aren't sold abroad.

probably the custard apple I had once - tastes like sweet milk or ice cream or, well, custard
I've also had:
>philodendron fruit (looks sort of like a green corn cob and tastes like something between a pinapple and banana)
>physalis (idk the english name. tastes a bit like a tomato but much sweeter and more fruity)
>little bananas from Madeira (I think they called them silver bananas. the flavor is more intense than normal bananas, kind of concetrated with more acidity and not just sweetness)
>several types of passion fruit (they all taste different. my favorite was the orange one with grey flesh, tasted quite sweet and flowery / perfumy. nothing like your average sour, purple-skinned passion fruit)

>>15793000
Did you died?

>>15791837
Tried a yew berry once, the only part of it that isn't deadly poisonous. Just tastes like sugary water.

>>15792506
these are fkn delicious

>>15793464
I think the smell is overblown by overreacting YouTubers. It definitely smells very STRONG, but not necessarily BAD. IMO papaya and jackfruit smell actually bad, albeit not as strong. I dislike durian for the texture, not the taste/smell.

>>15794334
I have those every time I visit SE Asia. When they're ripe you can tear them apart with your bare hands, and they're super sweet.
I've also tried salak (picrel) and something called "ice apples" which are basically some sort of palm fruit.

>>15793097
Use to do them all the time when I was trying to lose weight and was only eating fruit.
The berries are okay but the tablets work way better, you can cop some off Amazon.

>>15793471
How’d the one w maggots taste faggot?

>>15794368
l-l-lewd...

>kiwi
>persimmons
Pathetic, some of you need to get out more lol.

>>15793000
I had a tree in my backyard, fucking delicious but it can burn your mouth because some chemical on it, but it's worth it. I never had patience to roast the seed so I always threw them away.

I’ve had some cool ones in Mexico, sapote, mamay, pittaya, lima etc.

>>15791837
this fucker.

I was in my thirties and first time in France where I saw these ugly spheres. Had no idea how to eat. Improvised. Hiroshima explosion of flavor. Incredible. My favorite food to this day and litchi.

>>15794346
Based Taxus

Deadmans fingers. A clear mucousy edible part that has a light taste of watermelon. Lots of very large seeds.

>>15792083
Ditto, was working around HI for a few months and came across a field of these. Thought I lucked out by finding one that seemed ripe, but when I bit into it, it was the literal flavor of stale vomit. No idea how / why anybody ever consumes these

>>15793453
Do they not keep well? Why can't I find any canned online?

>>15793569
>Midwest shithole
yes, please don't come here. it's horrible

>>15792900
People ITT dont seem to realize fruits that are locally common may not be globally common

Ordered some strawberry spinach, excited to try it because apparently you can eat the leaves and the berries, I like the idea of it for salads and I think the color of them is really nice, I might do an infused vodka with them. Also I know this is cheating but it's technically a fruit, I had black tomatoes last year and they were super juicy and good. Other than that I guess rambutans and starfruit are some of the "rarest" fruit I've had

Most of the exotic fruits posted itt can be easily found in my country
As a tradeoff, berries are expensive as fuck.
Would you rather have easy access to the 'rare' ones or berries?

>>15793464
IMO, it's just like garlic ice cream. soft, sweet, creamy, melts in your mouth, but has a distinct smell of roasted garlic.
it's not outright bad, just a weird combination.

Dogwood fruit probably.
It's been a while, but I remember them tasting good and sweet.

>>15795185
they literally use dogwood trees/bushes as greenway around roads. you can just walk down the street and pick them. they are about as rare as strawberries.

>>15791848
TX here, that’s like a weed everywhere outside of major cities, and often used in xeroscaping...called “tuna” because of its red/glossy appearance like sashimi when cut

>>15795192
I know, but how many people do you know who actually eat them?

>>15794357
It smells bad. There are even states in SEA that forbid you to carry durians in public transports, in buidlings or even eating it in some public areas.

>>15792538
want to try one but im not paying 70 bucks to get 3-5 lbs of banana and dont want to shell out 20 for a plant

>>15794655
Almost as bad as your mom's cootch, but not as rancid

>>15792856
Don't call your mother names.

>>15795133
>there are no people in the picture
go figure

>>15792506
Some cunt once loaded a bunch of over ripe durians on top of my bag in a bus in indonesia and they leaked their foul juices all over my clothes. It leaves stains that look like literal shit and it's impossible to wash off.
Also they taste better dried than fresh.

>>15795128
Wouldn't know about canned ones since my country produces them.

>>15793471
Now craving some haven't had it in a while.

>>15792856
Y'know, this is one thing I've never understood.
We raise literal shitfucktons of pigs every year, globally, yet I've never seen a single carton of pig milk. I mean, heck, there's donkey milk being sold in supermarkets. How many donkeys are being farmed yearly?

>>15795585
Probably because there are no breeds of pig cultivated for high dairy yield, plus the social stigma of drinking something from a slop-eater (enhanced by religious dietary taboos).

>>15793453
I avoid mangosteen like the plague, since rotten ones are indistinguishable from good ones, and they're expensive in my neck of the woods.

>>15794368
Snakefruit was quite disappointing. Like a super-crunchy mild pineapple minus the tart fleshmelting enzymes.

>>15795068
Needs to be left on the counter until the outside shrivels like a cold ballsack. The concentrated pulp is orgasmically delicious.

>>15795603
There are places where pigs are fed almost exclusively on beechnuts, acorns, vegetables, whole beans/grains etc. None of those hyper-processed soybean-flour pellets. Their milk is way cleaner than that of your average factory farmed cow.

CUMquat

>>15795684
I pity tha foo who tried to peel a kumquat before eating it.

>>15795585
Pigs are unmilkable. They have dozens of tits that just barely dribble milk, and they are angry bastards who won't give you the chance. It took a team of two dozen people working round the clock just to get enough for a single wheel of cheese, which tasted like gamey, vinegary pilkwater.

variant-wise, pineberries were quite nice, but the winner was watermelon plums. They were fantastic.

Custard apple is probably the rarest I've had, it was okay. Dragonfruit was a disappointment.

>>15792506
The problem with this fruit is that its strong smell. Not that the smell is the worst but its just that too strong.

>>15795295
$5 for the bananas and $65 for the once-in-a-lifetime experience

>>15793453
You should try santol, same family with mangosteen. Only more huge seed and lest fruit meat also the skin later can be eaten compared to mangosteen.

itt people in cities or different regions screaming "that's not rare you can buy it at the supermarket" in response to people eating fruit that isn't native to their region. Of course you can find pretty much anything at an international supermarket in a bit city you fucking retards. For me though, not the rarest but I love eating pomelos. Possibly my favorite citrus.

>>15795172
It aint bad but I would trade it for a rambutan.

Not sure how rare Kumquats are globally, but I just tried them recently because my local grocery store got some in. First time I ever saw it in person so I think it counts. They're like tiny oranges but you eat the peel, very interesting.

>>15792900
pawpaws are unheard of outside their native range, as they cannot travel at all.

>>15795763
Not true, I live in NJ and I have eaten a pawpaw

Its not exotic for me but just wanna know if you guys had this fruit before? its called Java Plum.

>>15791858
that's great

>>15795904

I like them, though they are very slimy

>>15796187
mmm lip balm
also rambutans taste like grapes mixed with cum

>>15796511

>>15796521
because you put lip balm on your lips and you can fucking taste it, retard

>>15795904
It was a Carrefour in a super snooty neighborhood.
Probably use it for facemasks instead of drinking it orsmth.

>>15795728
I've had cherimoya/custard apples too and thought they were delicious. Accidentally made some fudge out of the other 3 in the carton when I was going for jam, but they're not that easy to source in the UK to experiment with.

>>15791858
oldest pasta I've seen, good job

Probably yamamomos (pic rel) and sudachis. Both on Shikoku Island in Japan.
Former was tart and juicy, a bit like raspberry. Later is similar to a lime

>>15792069
I have an apple tree planted in 1907, looks nice, but the fruits themselves are shit except for cider and such. Not that it has anything to do with age, but it's just a bland sort.

>>15792538
hahaha I actually used to work for Miami Fruit and would never recommend anyone buy any fruit from them. their whole business model is, milk as much as they can out of people who don't know much about fruit. their stuff is ridiculously overpriced. most of their produce you can get from a local Asian grocery store since they source a lot of their fruits from the same place as these stores, and at least at the Asian stores the fruits are a fraction of the price and the money doesn't go to a bunch of hippies who abandoned their ideals as soon as they found a way to make money without having to work. Not to mention their whole ad campaign is soyboy tier bullshit like "vegan business", "locally sourced", and even if you cared about that stuff, it wouldn't matter since they're blatant lies. I'm in flyover territory and I'm easily able to get durian here for $20 a package at the nearby Asian grocery store. They're selling them online for over $40, for the exact same quantity and variety. if you're interested in trying exotic fruits, I recommend just trying your local ethnic grocery store. If there's anything you can't find there, worst case scenario have them shipped, though generally I wouldn't recommend it since fruits tend to get damaged during shipping and won't ripen properly, but you can probably find a fruit shipping company with better prices or better quality fruit online. there are other companies doing the same thing as Miami Fruit nowadays.

>>15794116
Asian persimmons or American persimmons?

>>15795194
It's called "tuna" because that's the Nahautl word for it. It's coincidence that it looks like fish.

>>15797229
No there is a conspiracy that in the 70s the FDA was pressured by big sugar into not classifying miraculin as a safe food additive.

>>15801060
It’s very suspicious because they changed their mind at the last minute for seemingly no reason and the FOI documents are redacted into to being useless.

>>15792538
why don't we genetically modify banana to make resistant to fungus

>>15792880
>The bark, leaves, and fruit have been documented as containing the neurotoxin annonacin, which could cause neurodegeneration.

>>15792538
jesus christ those are expensive: $70 for a small box PLUS $20 for the most basic shipping

>>15800974
True for most of that stuff. I live near NYC so I can get almost anything in those asian stores. But there really isn't a place to buy Gros Michels IRL. I have checked personally, and in fact there's an Atlas Obscura article about a guy looking for them in NYC which ends in him buying from Miami Fruit.

I once had the idea to start a business importing these bananas in bulk from Thailand or another country they're grown and sell them to local hipster marts for a huge markup. I seriously looked into it, and what I found was that it's actually illegal to import bananas to the US from any country that can grow Gros Michels. It's probably due to lobbying from Big Banana, but yeah. That means the only possible way to get them here is from a domestic grower. And I believe Miami Fruit is the only one.

>>15795180
yeah you're pretty much on the money

>>15792506
My ex and her vietnamese mom opened one of these in the house and me and her stepdad had to run the fuck out. I barely made it to the yard before throwing up

>>15801023
you were SOOOO close....
the paddles are called nopales in Spanish, derived from the Nahuatl word “nōpalli” for the cactus pads, or nostle, from the Nahuatl word “nōchtli” for the fruit.....tuna has nothing to do with the Nahuatl language

thanks for playing though!

>>15801294

>>15792724

>>15793464
no it has a slightly funky smell. Its overblown by faggot reaction youtubers.

Surstromming on the other hand is real.

for anyone interested, this guy on youtube's hobby is trying fruits he's never heard of. he has TONS of episodes featuring a wide variety i've never heard of.

>>15801253
Miami Fruit barely grow any of their fruits and they certainly don't grow their Gros Michel. There are loads of local farms in South Florida, some of which grow Gros Michel down there, along with other banned imports such as ackee, and it's from these places where companies like Miami Fruit get their fruit they can't get elsewhere, while ofc the rest and most of their fruit is shipped in, in bulk from industrial farms based in third world countries. Ideally actually being in South Florida and experiencing the fruit there for yourself would be best, it's legitimately not that difficult either since you can just browse through Facebook Marketplace and there's gonna be loads of people selling the random crazy fruit they have growing in their backyards - things like mangoes, coconuts, avocadoes, ackee, lychees, etc., all for very reasonable prices. But otherwise, maybe if you're interested in trying Gros Michel and you're willing to deal with feeling like a schmuck for being jewed out of $100 for a couple fingers of one of the cheapest fruits in the world, having it shipped to you is an option. But if you were going to go with that option, just find another exotic fruit shipping company, there are multiple nowadays. Miami Fruit simply doesn't care, especially for the price that you pay. I remember once they were selling special types of mangoes at a premium but ran out of stock so ended up just shipping out generic local mangoes instead. They're a shit company and the owner actively fucks over his employees.

>>15795761
My local stores carry them now. I love them. And I love the string citrus aftertaste.

>>15795789
Yeah... they grow wildly in south jersey you bombaclot

>>15799057

Growing up in Texas those things were everywhere in the early summer. Never tried one but the flowers prickly pears sprout are fucking beautiful.

they are pretty ok

Prickly pears are absolute bastards. If you don't lightly roast the skin, you'll end up with those hair-thin needles in your lips and mouth.
They itch like an absolute motherfucker.

>>15793102
>banana
>seeds

Those little black specks in banana flesh are all that is left of the seeds of the plant. They are entirely non viable. Banana fruit trees are entirely propagated via grafting cuttings from existing productive plants onto the rootstock of banana trees that actually have seeds.

Also, pretty sure your Mad Max wasteland is entirely the wrong environment for a tropical plant.

I'd have to say either trifoliate orange or pawpaw. Trifoliate (aka hardy) orange make fantastic additions to gin and tonics - super sour and bitter. Pawpaw is only available and ripe in a pretty narrow window of time (~2-3 weeks).

>>15792880
Always wanted to try paw paw

oh fug nebermind

Had one of these on a hike when I was in high school.
Read a field guide that said to only eat the very ripe fruits because it'll make you sick.
Had one and it was fucking delicious, like a mix of guava, pineapple... just really sweet and tropical tasting. Found another one that wasn't super mushy and thought it was fine enough.
I started shitting like crazy. I thought maybe I should eat the seeds as they'd be nutritious. When I looked up the plant online they said if you eat so much as a single seed it could kill you (they're like papaya seeds)
I almost fucking died. That kinda shit haunts me. I was so close to eating some of the seeds. My fucking field guide doesn't say shit about the seeds... god damn.

>>15804703
>otherwise it'll make you sick
ftfm

idk how rare cherimoyas are, but they're certainly not common here.
they're kinda custardy, not too sweet but i don't think the one i had was especially ripe.
it did make my shit smell exactly like the fruit the next day so that was weird.

>>15794346
these are great, really weird but pleasant and unique taste
just be careful not to die by accidentally eating the pit or anything else but the red stuff

Based foragers.
Imo pawpaws are one of americas better known wild fruits so I'll list one that most people don't know about. This is the dwarf raspberry (rubus pubescens) unlike normal raspberries they grow as vines on the ground. They also don't fruit heavily and a good patch is only gonna yield you a couple handfuls, but what you get is a real treat. They taste like raspberry candy. Like if you'd take a regular raspberry and amp up the flavor and the sweetness by 10. One of my favorites.

I think calling the pawpaw rare is a fair designation. Yes, there are places where it's more commonly known, but even in its native range it is often almost entirely forgotten. The only reason I know about it is because my dad is crazy about plants and he's mentioned it occasionally throughout my childhood. I still never tasted one until I was 25. I live in NC, and the pawpaw is native in most of the state. You will not find it in stores, or farmer's markets, even during peak season. I even had one woman at a farmer's market tell me they don't grow here (she was about the only one who even knew what it was), and I told her I had found several patches within walking distance of my apartment, lmao.

>An average-sized soursop fruit contains 15 mg of annonacin, while a can of commercial nectar contains 36 mg and a cup of infusion, 140 μg.[7] Studies in rodents indicates that consumption of annonacin (3.8 and 7.6 mg per kg per day for 28 days) caused brain lesions consistent with Parkinson's disease.[8][9] An adult who consumes a fruit or can of nectar daily over the course of a year is estimated to ingest the same amount of annonacin that induced brain lesions in the rodents receiving purified annonacin intravenously.[7]
Soursop is different from pawpaw, but still. I weigh 170lbs. I would have to eat 300 fruit a day for a month for that to be a concern. Also, rodent studies were intravenous, no idea how that changes things.

You can find kiwano in most big chain grocery stores now.

For those who haven't had it, it has a light flavor that's sort of like cucumber mixed with banana, and the edible part is the seeds surrounded by this odd gelatin textured bubble. It's real pleasant but way over priced.

>>15805247
Tried this as a little kid, they used to have it at the A&P. Not much flavor.

>Lychee
Kinda tastes like grape but less sour. Similar texture too.
>rambutan
See above.
>kiwano melon
>>15805744
>dragon fruit
Very light, sweet flavor, texture similar to a pear.
>fresh papaya
Only seems rare because nobody else I know has ever had it fresh, texture is similar to an over ripe cantelope flavor is definitely more sugary, it's okay but hard to eat a lot of because of the sweetness.

I wish uncommon fruit wasn't ridiculously expensive. I can't imagine they sell a whole lot of it when they're charging between 6 and 10 dollars for a single fruit at the grocery store. I love trying whatever new shit pops up if it's reasonable.

>>15805796
Lychee tastes like cum

Whose cum have you been eating? Because they probably have diabetes.

>I would have to eat 300 fruit a day for a month for that to be a concern.
sure but that's to develop actual lesions. i mean those rats had full blown parkinson's.
reading a bit about it (literally the wikipedia page and nothing else), in Guadeloupe a lot of old folks have parkinson's, and also they drink soursop teas like every day.

is it a big deal to eat an apple seed every once in a while? no probably not, but if you eat a bunch of them it'll give you cyanide poisoning. it's probably fine to eat a fuckin single fruit every so often.

>>15801100
this banana and the banana we eat now are clones meaning they have no seeds and nothing to modify as they are fully grown which is why the banana blight rips through them so quickly.

God I ate so much cacao fruit when I was in South America, hands down the sweetest fruit I’ve ever had. It’s like a mango but just better in every way.

Wouldn’t say it’s rare to find, but I feel like no one eats it. It’s called Tea Berry where I was from but it’s American wintergreen Irl

It genuinely just tastes like a piece of gum that has no chew to it. Just winter green gum you instantly swallow, or I call them pepto bismo berrys.

Based when you’re hiking and you find them

>>15805564
the seeds are covered in a sweet white sticky membrane, you can suck it easily from the seed, monkeys and other animals love it.

>>15806497
I've eaten the leaves of this plant but never thought to eat the berry? Am I dumb? Thanks for the tip

Probably dragonfruit or durian, but after the dragonfruit I don't need anything else. Tastiest shit ever.

>>15792506
My Singaporean coworkers would have this durian hard candy sometimes that smelled even worse than the actual fruit. Tasted great, though, like a fruit caramel.

I think a comparison with almonds would be more appropriate. Even sweet almonds have trace amounts of cyanogenic chemicals in them, though bitter almonds apparently have like 40x as much. Still, going from the data on wiki, if an adult ate 2000 sweet almonds they would hit the acute oral lethal threshold for cyanide. I don't know how annonacin and cyanide differ in their long-term effects, but compare 2000 sweet almonds to 9000 pawpaws (300 a day for a month), and those are both ridiculously high numbers. Supposedly a single dried almond weighs about 1.3 grams. From the study about annonacin toxicity in pawpaws that wikipedia cites, the average pawpaw weighed 100 grams. That's 900kg of pawpaw flesh needed to induce brain lesions, and 2.6kg of almonds needed to kill you from cyanide poisoning.

Of course, if cyanide doesn't build up or act over the long term and annonacin does then it's a bit of a different story, but if you're eating a dozen pawpaws once a year when they're in season I can't imagine you'd suffer anything for it. If you eat a fruit or two a day (hard to do since they have a short season and don't keep well) every day for your entire life, are you at a higher risk for neurodegenerative disorders like the soursop eaters in Guadeloupe? Yeah, probably. But I don't think that would be a concern for most people.

Think about it like this. Let's say the only two fruits anon has ever are eaten bog-standard red delicious apples you can find at walmart, and prickly pear fruit. If we rank those on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the rarest fruits possible, red delicious is obviously a 1, and prickly pear might be a 2 or 3. Obviously a 2 or 3 isn't rare in the grand scheme of things, but it is certainly rarer than the red delicious apple. And if it's rarer than the only other fruit anon has eaten, then it is, by definition, the rarest fruit anon has eaten. And if anon had only ever eaten red delicious apples, that becomes simultaneously the most common and the rarest fruit anon has eaten.

Fortunately pawpaws are seasonal and that limits long term exposure tonthese things. for the most part youre only eating pawpaws regularly during about the month of September. You may preserve sone by freezing but it wontnbe a significant part of your diet. I see no reason to be afraid of consuming pawpaws for a month every year.

Garambuollo, 20 years when a was a little kid visiting family in Mexico we stopped on our way to pick these rare fruits and tunas (prickly pears) in the desert that only locals eat. From what I can remember they were the size of grapes but tasted similar to black berries or so.

>>15811339
I have never heard of that and I lived in a rancho in the middle of nowhere filled with all kinds of cactus all over the place.
What we used to eat there were pitayas from very tall cactus plants.

How much are they where you are ?
Haven't bought any in ages but probably 1$ each at the market isn't a bad guess here, so, cheap for us.
Maybe No one in your area has made the jump into growing them, or climate factors
