Something new... and what the heck is that?!!

Hi all! So today when I was at the grocery story I came across a really cool fruit!

So of course I'm thinking "what the hell is this? And HOW do you eat it?" So I googled this crap out!

;-) Turns out you just kind a peel away the weird spike looking skin (that ironically isn't really like spikes) and there is this fruit inside that you eat. I had to get some! And since I am trying something new each month I naturally thought this could be my February one!Hey! it doesn't take much to thrill me. Also I couldn't help but wonder if it would make me forget that it was still winter outside. I also picked up some red bananas. I googled them too... only to find out that they are like normal bananas, just taste a bit sweeter and are softer. Oh well it is like an adventure with fruit!

These are rambutans....they come from Southeast Asia.

 

 

So here we go.. on with our adventure in these odd balls of fruit. I split open one and found a weird white round piece of fruit. It had the consistency of a peeled grape.

 

The website I looked at said that it should kind of taste like a grape too... and yeah it sort of did!

 





 

 

That same site tho started to talk about the seed in the middle and then said "See Warning below!"
So I started to think,Cool! this could be one of those foods where you are like "awww lil buddy I want to eat you but you might kill me." Not so much with this fruit... the warning was just a reminder that you COULD choke on the seed. The seed is the size of an almond. Unless you are careless and or giving this to a child.. I don't think you will choke. BUT! I cant say that I would eat the seed. I think that it could be pretty bitter. There is a very thin covering over the seed and I couldn't stop from eating a bit of it... it wasn't that great in taste. Needless to say I was sad when all three were gone in my tummy. It was like eating a giant grape and I wanted more. They were, dare I say, a little ball of sunshine in my mouth. :-)

Also I wanted to say sorry to those who always look forward to my horrible drawings... I didn't really feel like it...and to be honest I got lazy. But I will make sure to put some up the next week I do a post. I pinkie swear!

Okay so until next time! Peace!!
