Fruity

Found a new fruit in the grocery store.  I paired it with some blueberries.

It is golden kiwi, specifically California Golden Kiwi.  Far Guy thought the flavor was more intense.  I thought it was about the same.  The fruits seem a bit smaller than regular kiwi.

This is a fruit we had in Hawaii.

These are half peeled.  The white part is the part you eat, there is a small brown seed inside the white part which you should not eat.  This is a Rambutan and it is very rich in Vitamin C.  It has the texture of a grape and kinda tastes like a tangy grape.  Needless to say our grocery store does not have them.

Those are such funny fruits! They look like hairy white acorns.
The Kiwi looks inviting. Interesting fruits. :)

I have never even heard of that fruit before. How interesting.

I never saw anything like those Hawaiian fruits. But I have eaten and enjoyed kiwi. Pricey but tasty. :-)

The Rambutan looks very interesting and sounds good...

The Rambutan is intriguing. I've seen the golden kiwi in the store but haven't tried them. In January I tried a fruit in Antiqua that the locals called a sugar apple. It was tasty, but very weird looking.

Hawaii does have some interesting and unique fruit. Unfortunately, they seldom appear in the produce aisle.

I see you have some Golden Wheat dishes. Are these the old ones or something new?

I like kiwi and it's fairly inexpensive. The grands eat them a lot. I have never seen a fruit like the other one...very interesting! Last summer I paid a hefty price for some grapes that taste like cotton candy for the grands and indeed they did! they were delicious. I don't know about these things normally but they inform me when we talk. LOL!

I love kiwi...although, Terry doesn't like it at all!

Although I like the taste of kiwis I'm allergic to them. Bummer.

That Rambutan looks delicious. I'm wondering if it tastes at all like Lychee.

You are featuring hairy fruits today. :-)

For a brief period there were "star fruits" at the local market -- I liked them -- but they vanished as quickly as they appeared.

I do like kiwi. The other looks a little too fuzzy for me.
