Kitchen Fruit

This is another fruit that is commonly found in New Zealand. It is about the same size as the Kiwi fruit or may be a little smaller. This fruit too is very deceiving from the outside. It is a very dark deep purple with a smooth outer skin until it begins to ripen. At this point the outside almost turns black and the skin starts to shrivel into little divot like holes. Inside is the most delicious sweet succulent and flesh that surrounds the little black seeds. They are separated into two sides in the center. These wonderful little fruit are wonderful in a fruit salad or as a topping on ice cream. It is a "must try" if you ever get an opportunity. This was the final in my series for my daughter and I have to admit I really enjoyed doing them.

They look awesome along her kitchen wall!!
