Sunday Snapshots: My First Pitaya, aka Dragon Fruit
Dragon fruit by @SpicieFoodie - loved the dragon fruit in Thailand... kind of a mild flavor similar to kiwi with the seeds
Philippine Fruits
Langka or Jackfruit - enormous and prickly on the outside, it looks somewhat like durian (though jackfruit is usually even larger). The seeds or pits, which are round and dark like chesnuts. The fleshy part (the "bulb") can be eaten as is, or cut up and cooked. When unripe (green), it is remarkably similar in texture to chicken, making jackfruit an excellent vegetarian substitute for meat. In fact, canned jackfruit (in brine) is sometimes referred to as "vegetable meat".
Pomelo (Suha)
Pomelo... ah, this citrus fruit is the best of both worlds and seems to combine grapefruit and an orange and creates the best citrus fruit ever for breakfast... or whenever... Loved it
Kasoy / Cashew Nuts, Part II - Market Manila
Cashew - in Brazil they make a drink from the cashew fruit. Now you see why cashews are more expensive... only 1 nut per fruit!
FROM MY BAY KITCHEN Rene Astudillo
Sayote - this is an interesting vegetable named differently in various countries... In Papua New Guinea we ate it roasted in the underground muu muu... but they said that it takes on flavors of whatever it is cooked with and therefore could put one apple with these in a pie!
