...for some reason the picture is being cropped weird for me as well but I can see a corner of the rollinia,
Abiu seems to be my least enjoyable sapote-family member SSI far. The taste has hints of vanilla and caramel but it's very mild and very meh in texture.
Nice Haul!for some reason the picture is being cropped weird for me as well but I can see a corner of the rollinia,Bummer about the abiu, do you know what variety it was?
Beautiful!Is this time of the year peak fruit season in Hilo?Those are some tiny Diospyros digyna and with the calyx dry and black like that with green fruit skin I doubt it was picked mature.Is that a NDM hiding behind the rollinia??
Enjoyed several days driving around the Big Island picking up fruit at every farmers market and fruit stand I stumbled across. Kona farmers market has some excellent mangos, rainbow papaya, and red bananas. Cacao has excellent flavor, but where’s the meat???[/url]
Hilo Farmer's Market can be horrible. They know the tourists won't try the fruit till they get back to their hotel and realize they. Lying to me telling me the durian is musang king when it's just monthong. Selling unripe marang as pedalai. Selling stolen fruit in some cases. I'd buy the vegetables and common fruits...but when it gets to the pricier/higher regarded stuff, know what you're looking at.
I did see several mangoes there, that they had a big sign up saying they were from Hawaii, but each mango still had the grown in Mexico sticker from Costco haha
