A list of rare fruits I ate+explaination (Fruitex)
a year ago
General
FIREFOXES ARE NOT LITERALLY, "FOXES ON FIRE", AND I'M NOT A BEAR!!
Remember- International Red Panda Day is the 3rd Saturday of September.
Visit: http://redpandanetwork.org/get-invo.....red-panda-day/ for more info.A note: I will be migrating to personal journaling on Weasyl. I will post on FA, news and references more often.
If interested on my thoughts, desires and plans, go to my account there: https://www.weasyl.com/~excelsior30
( Related Journal: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/11212492/ )
...and you want to make your journal pop? go here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ So to go ahead and make my journals less cluttered, I will eventually have to go and make a reorganization of some important things I have done, and it will be beneficial to see what is both nutritious and what is delicious as well. It is fun that it is ongoing that I'm trying many fruits that are not native to the USA, and I would develop such tastes along the way, and I would have my own opinions on how they are in terms of nutrition and health benefits while also valuing taste, and in the long run, if it is that I should have more fruits in the future, the list that I have done would be a great reference for me.
Of course, there would be some fruits that you would taste in terms of when they are put as juices, baked/broiled, boiled, jellied, or even added as an ingriedient-well, of course, it is expected that one will put in sugar if one is going to have it in something processed or prepared. Remember, if you do drink the juice, or nectar of a fruit, there would be a difference in taste, but to focus on nectar, if you ever try to drink that, the properties of it are EXTREMELY DIFFERENT from the real thing, and note too that nectar is different from juice. Yes, do not say that they are the same despite that both juice and nectar would have water, but the big difference is this- taken from the site Foods Guy: https://foodsguy.com/nectar-vs-juice/ , the most important definition and difference between fruit juice and fruit nectar is this:
"Fruit juice is usually 100% pure fruit juice, or close to it, but some can contain a lesser content of fruit juice, whereas nectar is fruit juice mixed in with water and other ingredients."
A bit vague, but delve deeper, and you will see clearer definitions:
Juice: It is made from the extraction or the pressing of the natural liquid found in fruit. You can get a liquid from a blender or juicer, or if it is commercially done, the fruit can be squeezed, but it can be pasturized. Though there can be additives like water to make it less strong or added sugar, as long as these are added only, it's considered juice.
>Therefore for example, if you do see a bottle of lemonade with no more than 20% juice in it, it is still considered a juice commercially.
Now nectar is this definition, and do note the bolded italic...:
Nectar: It is diluted fruit juice which has been mixed in with water, additives, sweeteners, and preservatives. It is thicker than fruit juice, and isn’t as clear or smooth as fresh fruit juice, and needs to be diluted down. Some fruits like apricots if you get them to liquid, they might also contain too much acidity or fruit pulp that they cannot be sold as 100% fruit juice.
So to go ahead and bring up in the list below about Mexican white guava being #3 on the list below, you would likely go to a convienience store and buy this guava nectar drink-Jumex: http://jumex.com/international/guava-nectar/ THIS IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS JUICE. When I tasted it fresh after drinking the nectar many times, I was totally disappointed by the taste of the actual fruit. With the definition of nectar now known, it would be not a good idea to drink it at all as there would be too much technology and added sweet to actually "doctor up" the actual taste of guava. So it would be like a tiny bit of actual juice in guava that you would expect on your taste buds, but it is all water and added things to make it taste better as the fruit itself is very bland, and I had to not waste it-I had to agonizingly for a week eat that near rocky fruit.
Of course, there are health benefits to fresh guava, but it is better to alternatively make perhaps guava tea by yourself from the leaves if you have such a tree, and leave the fruit to those that have diabetes mellitus. (And to imagine that Jumex has banana nectar?!? : http://jumex.com/international/stra.....banana-nectar/ [I can understand strawberries though and they are also a nectar by itself too. Do see all their products on their site.])
For this, it is a good reason why I do the actual taste test of fruits that exist around the world that are hardly found in the USA, and since it is that I have my fursona, Alfred the red panda who despite is a carnivore, does enjoy fruits around 85-90% of the time if there is no bamboo. So indirectly because of him being my fursona, I'm eating healthier!
Now too, since I do have a mutual friend from the United Kingdom that has anthropomorphic fruits, in which he calls the Fruitex, it's
Fruitgems that with his characters as seen here in his folder: https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....13/The-fruitex that got me to trying exotic fruits. It all started with him introducing Dragonfruitex that I did try to have a hand at dragonfruit, and since I have seen more rare fruits come around when I go to supermarkets, I decided to give it a shot as of course, if they are there for sale, they won't kill you, but from my mom, I do have to be careful which is it to eat.
For example, as she said that starfruit would damage your kidneys; but I will admit that she did not tell me about prickly pear/cactus fruit (ranked #5 on list below)-I did feel some sort of discomfort inside, and I hope that I did not damage my intestines and kidneys after eating the pulp since this came from a plant that grows those thistles/spines to protect it from being eaten fresh, therefore, deep inside the fruit, there would be properties that make spines exist even in the fruit, and perhaps the digestive juices inside after you eat one could possibly manifest, and you would feel that discomfort if you don't have the genes to digest it without problems.
And I can return to eating the processed fruits as well and bring up the durian snack I had at Further Confusion- sometimes having a preview of the commercially processed snack or dessert IF DONE WELL can ready you for tasting the real thing, and in the case of me going to the International Snack Exchange meetup on FC 24 : www.furaffinity.net/journal/10783107/, it was delicious enough for me to try the durian fresh, and it was okay, but it was much better than other fruits that I would try later on-creamy like an avocado, but at least it has the taste to be like one, and it can be enjoyable.
Of course it is the natural flavor that comes into contact as well, and if it is that the sweet or for durian, semisweet, but creamy taste that is comparable to a banana, it does make me rank it high and it is likely that I would eat it again, so back to durian, initially when I tasted it, as the third rare fruit I tasted when I started my experiemts, it was #3 and OK, but now, it is #10 after the 17 fruits I have tasted, but yes, I will take other people's word for quince since I never tasted it, and would be something to hate when eaten fresh as #1 on the list-no journal yet-I will have to cook that fruit. So for my sake and for everyone's sake if you want to read my take on the fruits that I have eaten, the list is below with the associated journal, and remember, the greater the number, the better it is.

1: QUINCE (RAW, BUT NEVER TASTED) (BAD!) (NO JOURNAL EXISTS.)
WOULD LIKE TO TRY: RHUBARB & PUMPKIN (RAW-some say it's a fruit!)
Soon, there will be these journals reposted so it will be easier for me to see in order how they are, and I will give the date of when I tasted it as at the point I journaled, I almost immediately post after few hours of eating it. So hope you see this as a good reference in terms of fruits, and what do you think? Which of these you like, and what other fruits would you like me to try? Thanks for reading, and go try them out for yourself!
...and a very indirect thanks to Fruitgems for having me try different fruits all over the world. 👍
