New Zealand Discovery #15: Feijoas (and Kiwi Berries)

April 2, 2014

Fred, from our marina, brought us a significantly sized bag of fruit a couple of weeks ago and along with the fruit, imparted us with the knowledge necessary to consume said fruit. The fruit: Feijoes. (Incidentally, I don’t know why I’m writing like this – perhaps feijoes tend to make a person erudite?)

The center is pretty soft.  Scoop it out with a spoon and enjoy.

He didn’t tell us until after we’d eaten a bunch about the “loosening” effect they tend to have, cautioning us to only eat a couple at a time.  Too late Fred!

Today, Cyndi found another interesting fruit at the market: the Kiwi Berry.
