Andrew: New Fruits

Hi! One of the good things about living in a tropical country is all the great fruits there are to eat. We have a lot of the ones you would know like pineapple, orange, banana, apples, kiwi, grapes, mangoes, even strawberries. But there are some you might not have eaten, and this post is about those. Here are some pictures of some fruit from India:


This is jackfruit. All these (and many more) come from the same large fruit- larger than a big watermelon! They are sweet and chewy, and not too juicy. There's a big seed in the middle that has to come out, and all around these pieces is sticky white stuff. It is delicious, but because it's hard to get the fruit out, we don't have it much.


This is a pomegranate. I think some of you may have had these, but my mom thinks some of you might not. So here it is. They are big here!

To eat the pomegranate, you have to pick the seeds out. They are really juicy, and you just chew them up, even though there's a small seed in the middle of the red pieces.

This is pink guava. There is another kind that is green on the outside and white on the inside, but we like the pink one. The little yellowish seeds in the pink are hard and crunchy, but you just chew them up too.

This is a custard apple! The inside is white and has very sweet soft pods with kinda large black seeds in it. You don't eat those seeds, but you pick them out. I used to think I liked it, but I don't anymore. I don't know why.

Well, this isn't fruit, it's just me chilling with Lego. That's all for now! Bye!
