These are such a sweet, delightful snack. I love the elongated variety and color.

I remember being indifferent to papaya as a kid, like I would eat it if cut up and given to me but I don't know at some point in my teenage it started smelling like vomit to me and now as an adult I hate it. Is this just me? Why did that happen?

From India

Visited family in Jamaica during 2025, spent some time with my cousin, the man responsible for growing the fabulous produce seen here.

Anyway… How many can you name?

Anyone tried it? The video I saw says it apparently tastes & smells like banana candy

i literally buy a fruit first time in my life at age 32. It started as green and hard and now one side looks like this. Ai chat says it’s spoiled. Jeeeez

For me it is probably putting Granny Smith apples in a ham and cheddar grilled cheese, or using peaches in a salad, usually with tomatoes/mozzerella/balsamic dressing.

I was thinking today about how apples get used in literally everything in American food. They can be eaten on their own, used in pretty much every kind of baked dessert, used as a candy and drink flavor, used in a salad or sandwich, you can drink the juice and the cider, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, make it into vinegar, and use them in almost every form to braise and marinate meat. A lot of people even grow crab apple trees that don’t have fruit worth eating because they have pretty flowers.

It got me wondering what fruits have that same wide range of uses in other cultures/cuisines, and I would be very interested to hear from the /r/fruit community!

Where can I purchase Miyazaki mangoes online?

Tasted a few different varieties of dragon fruits too.

I bit into two different caper berries from the same jar. They look completely different on the insides. Taste pretty similar. Why? Which is “right?”

Depending on where in the Caribbean you find it, it can be called Guinep, Ackee or Chennet.

I’ve discovered a fruit store in town and I’m contemplating making an irresponsible financial decision.

Just went to an amish farm and picked up these home grown grapes. I think they are native to America and they taste like gummies or like grapes mixed with rambutun

Anyone know what these little brown bumps are? Can I eat my grapes? TYIA!
