The final fruit that I will be talking about in my series of
blogs is the Feijoa. This is a small green fruit in a very similar shape to that of a
lime. This fruit has many different names such as the Acca Sellowiana, the
pineapple guava and the Gauvasteen. The Feijoa plant is one of the most edible
plants in the world. The fruit it produces is edible and the leaves that grow
on the Feijoa plant are edible. This is quite rare for a fruit and is one of a
select few with this trait. There are more than 23 varieties of this fruit and
all of them are different. These small fruits are native and very common in
most hot dessert climates. The most famous place for these fruits is Brazil but
they are also widely grown in Iran, Azerbaijan, Georgia (USA) and New Zealand. The
trees that these fruits grow on can grow to be an amazing 7+ meters tall. The Feijoa
has an oval shape and is described as tasting like a combination of strawberry,
pineapple and guava.
