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! |
The last picture is the best one! We miss you and look forward to seeing all of you soon. Love and hugs, Becky Bergsagel

ReplyDeleteHey there Andrew ! Sorry it took me a wile to get to this. But I enjoyed reading it and your culinary exploits ;-)
ReplyDeleteI recall having a fruit called Chickoo or Chiku ? Perhaps you can ask your mom or dad to get you some one of these days. I remember it being very sweet and a bit like a pear. But don't eat the seeds! I was told they get stuck in your throat !
Keep exploring the wonderful food and fruits there ! And keep us posted on your culinary adventures.
Take care
Mick

Hi Andrew, it was so nice to meet your family on Sunday. Your blog is really fun! Which fruit is your favorite? They all look delicious. My friend has a fig tree in her yard and she even made fig jam. Hope you have a great day!
