They say the first step is admitting you have a problem...It started so innocently enough.
Great to see you guys here to get some help! Your being honest and coming forward takes a lot of courage.I have a few friends I'm worried about...Jabomano might be the worst off! He thinks about them even more than me...and I thought I could think anyone under the table, when it came to myrciaria madness.Also, a nice new fellow I've met named Huertasurbanas has been associating with the jabo junkies..asking lots of questions about where they get their fix. He's just getting into this whole mix, so the choice is still his to make.
Huertas!Good to see you here! You have broken the curse of denial! (many others I know have yet to accept reality)you're on the road to discovery. A journey full of jaboticaba varieties, and things you never imagined possible.

I was so happy to be accepted into the group, I ran and flew over my sink.
Luc,they're still legal! But the local wildlife makes routine busts...with racoons, squirrels, rats, birds, and giant-hairless 2 legged squirrels, confiscating a large number of fruits.BTW, the three jabos below from left to right...Red jabo, Sabara, GrimalNotice the pulp of the Grimal is much more gelatinous...I think Grimal might be the best of all 3, but I wouldn't trade one for the other.
in this case, translucent indicates more succulent.just to put it simply, the grimal definitely has a thicker pulp, with a less watery consistency. I've eaten hundreds...they have a thick skin, and small seeds! lots of pulp.
yes!the vexator is quite gelatinous...maybe even more gelatinous than Grimal...they are borderline fibrous..but it's not objectionable....somewhat similar to yellow jabo.
OK, here's my Jaboticabaholics Anonymous confession. I've been Jaboticabadreaming for years. I bought a seedling in Key West about 10 years ago, and no fruit yet. Where I live, Miami, nurseries that sell trees with fruit charge about $300-400/tree. That's out of reach for me.I've never tasted Jaboticaba fruit What does it taste like? From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the Muscadine grape. Does it taste something like a Muscadine grape?Jaboticabaholics Anonymous, I can't get any Jabotisfaction; help?
