What fruit?
It’s been a long time since I’ve discovered a new fruit. I first heard chatter about this fruit here and before we could figure out what it was, the fruit guys dropped off a handful of them at our office.
So what is it? Pineapple guava. It has an artificial taste and smell, as if ‘artificial fruit flavor’ is derived from this plant. It’s goey and sticky on the inside, and a little slimy like Fiji water (very smooth, doesn’t taste like swamp). It would be good as an ingredient in a custard-style dessert, and probably best as the only flavor since it is so strong. The fruit is worth trying if you happen across it, but it’s not something I would actively seek out.
Update: The fruit guys are SO AWESOME. Here’s a list of what they send out for the week
Looks kinda weird. I would still eat it though.
