Bfo Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Bought some organic blackberries ( from Mexico) at Albertsons a few months ago and apparently didn't do a good enough job washing off. After eating a good bit went to put the rest in fridge and saw bugs crawling on them. Never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Papapya and mango similar taste no? Papaya more of a dry taste. Mango much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybagadonuts Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Asian pears are the best by far Always crisp and crunchy but still very juicy I tried hard and couldn't think of a single fruit other than durian that I don't like. Only problem is they are often as much as $5 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TobyTyler Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 They eat those everywhere in Puerto Rico. Taste ok but fucks up your mouth and tongue and the texture is kinda grossPuerto Ricans love the Quenepas . Asian markets should have them. This small round fruit is about the size of an olive with a hard skin. Inside you’ll find a very sweet luscious fruit with a jelly like consistency, most people eat them fresh... but they can also be made into sauces, desserts, and juice. Quenepa Fruit is full of fiber for lowering cholesterol and preventing constipation, also Vitamin A that boosts your immune system and prevents formation of urinary stones; Vitamin C which is very important as a great antioxidant; calcium which keeps your teeth and bones strong and helps prevent cancer; phosphorus which is important for digestion and regulating hormones. Quenepa also contains a large amount of tryptophan which is important for good sleep... and lysine which is important for proper growth and for preventing herpes. Quenepa Fruit lowers blood pressure and helps with asthma, and because Quenepa is full of antioxidants (Phenolic Compounds) they also work to prevent cardiovascular disease, boost your immune system and prevent strokes. Studies are being done on Quenepa as a anti-diabetic food because particular proteins in Quenepa lower blood sugar levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasson621 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Quenepa is like the Noni fruit in costa rica except it would have to taste better Noni fruit is sold in many farmers' markets and grocers throughout Costa Rica, and homeopathic products including noni juice and pills are widely available at local health food stores. Native to Southeast Asia and Australasia, noni is also known as morinda, Indian mulberry, beach mulberry or, thanks to its pungent aroma, the humorous epithets of cheese fruit and dog dumpling. The exotic tree is cultivated in tropical climates, mostly along rocky coasts, sandy shoreline or in shaded forests. Around the world, noni is renowned as a medicinal plant, and is often called nature's healer. In Costa Rica, archaeologists have unearthed native texts that describe traditional uses of not just noni fruit, but also the plant's seeds, blossoms, bark and roots. Scientific research has discovered that noni is high in vitamin C, niacin, potassium and iron, as well as proxeronine, an alkaloid important for cell function. Recent research has shown preliminary links between noni consumption and improvements in common illnesses. Traditional cultures and homeopathic remedies have long used noni juice and powders to cure a range of maladies; noni is purported to help:Lower blood pressureCombat menstrual crampsBoost the immune systemAct as an anti-inflammatoryRelieve arthritis painLower blood sugarLessen post-operative nauseaRegulate digestive systemReduce allergies Additionally, noni is used to help prevent and combat certain diseases including urinary tract infections, Alzheimer's, heart disease, diabetes, and liver problems. The fruit is high in antioxidants, and has been used as an alternative treatment for cancer; some patients claim that the fruit helps them absorb nutrients, stay healthier and can even slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Since noni's strong odor is accompanied by an equally sharp flavor that many find unpleasant, most juices and other preparations try to mask the flavor. To prepare fresh noni juice, try mixing the fruit with boiled water, sugar or honey and your favorite strong-flavored fruit – mango, papaya, or pineapple – to make the concoction- See more at: http://costarica.com/blog/health-benefits-of-noni/#sthash.sM3UBCv1.dpuf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
