B"H

What *Are* They?


There is a fruit sold in Israel that I've been trying to find the English name
for. It's the most incredible fruit I've ever seen.

The largest ones get almost grapefruit-sized. It has a hot pink
smooth skin with brilliant, acid-green leaf-like extensions on it (no
I didn't take any "acid" in order to be able to see this thing). The
skin peels away easily and completely to reveal an almost tasteless,
but juicy white-fleshed fruit studded with small, edible, black
seeds. It's great frozen, cubed and then made into a slushy with other fruits. It's not so interesting alone because the taste is so bland.
