Where can I try a rare Abiu fruit and what does it taste like?

• 🍋 Abiu tree (Pouteria caimito), or Harvest Moon Sapote - is a must-try rare tropical fruit with a striking appearance and incredible flavor.
• 🍋 About the size of a medium apple, Abiu ripens to a bright, sunny yellow that hints at the deliciousness inside. Beneath its somewhat thick, sturdy skin, which contains a bit of sticky latex when cut, lies a jelly-like, ultra-juicy flesh that's sweet, smooth, and completely acid-free.
• 🍋 Its flavor is often compared to the luscious taste of Chrysophyllum cainito (Star Apple that we mentioned earlier), making it a favorite among tropical fruit lovers.
• 🍋 Each fruit typically has one elongated seed nestled within, and Abiu is often grown from seed.
• 🍋 Abiu is very hard to find tropical fruit tree, and you won't find this fruit in supermarkets. So the only way to taste it - to grow your own!
• 🍋 With its vibrant color, unique texture, and tropical sweetness, Abiu is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their rare fruit collection!

😱 Finally - the first image on Internet: rare ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

• ❤️ Riedelia coralina - Coral Ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)
• ❤️ This super rare ginger finally bloomed for us! We grew this rare specimen from seeds form the collection of Mark Hooten, S. Florida horticulturist. The species close related to Burbidgea. Riedelia coralina is so rare that published information about this exact species is extremely hard to find. Most references to it appear in specialized collector circles rather than in widely available horticultural or botanical literature.
• ❤️ We have only a few plants, ginger collectors, hurry up!

It is so rare you can't even find images on Internet. This will be the first one!

🍨 Before eating ice cream, try this fruit growing on a house plant!

• 🍨 Most people know Swiss Cheese Plant - Monstera deliciosa - for its big holey leaves, but here’s the wild part: this jungle climber also makes fruit. Real fruit. And it tastes like pineapple mixed with ice cream.
• 🍨 Have you tried Monstera fruit? Will you eat it again?
• 🍨 This plant grows in the rainforests of Mexico and Guatemala, where young seedlings crawl toward the shade until they find a tree to climb. Yes, they grow in the direction of the darkest area, not just merely away from light. Interesting, ah?
• 🍨 In time, it sends out a green, cone-like fruit nearly a foot long. It takes a while to ripen - about a year - and only when the scales start to lift can you peel them back and find the creamy pulp inside. Ice-cream sweet and tropical.
• 🍨 One catch though: never eat the fruit unripe. The pulp contains oxalic acid that is generally harmless but will burn your mouth. Best trick is to let it wrinkle a little, wrap it up, and wait until the scales loosen on their own. Then it's ready.
• 🍨 And for collectors? The Thai Constellation, with its cream-splashed leaves, is the crown jewel. Some specimens sell for thousands. Not bad for a "Swiss Cheese Plant"!
