[Pat Knowles]

Is it a fruit or a vegetable Dawn, very strange looking thing to look at. Do you take out the middles?

[Maggiemae]

Must get some - seen these in the shop! Probably don't eat the skin?

[gloria jones]

Great still life...neat details

[Dawn]

@happypat Hi Pat yes it’s a fruit you scoop out centre and eat also you peel and eat raw the flesh part or can stew

[Dawn]

@maggiemae no don’t eat the skin

[Dawn]

@seattlite Thanking you Gloria

[Jennifer Potter]

Very interesting and pretty! I've never even heard of it!

[Danette Thompson]

New to me!

[Dawn]

@jenp @danette They are quite tangy

[Gillian Brown]

Interesting. Never seen these.

[katy]

such a pretty fruit love the composition of your photo

[Margo]

Looks similar to star fruit

[wendy frost]

Great capture using this unusual fruit with a lovely colour and shape.

[Ian JB]

Looks juicy nice group.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

do you eat the seeds of this one?

[Babs]

I've never tasted them, are they nice?

[Diana]

A new one to me, love the shot though.

[haskar]

Great shot and details. I've never tasted them.

[Wendy]

Very nice still life with great details and focus. They do look delicious. Have not seen them in any of my local stores though.

[Lee]

Iv'e never seen these before, good shot of them. I'm not sure they look particularly appetising.

[Kathy]

I like the shape. There is a fruit found in our forests here called pawpaws, but they are bigger.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They look like a cross between bananas and acorn squash to me! Nice shot!

[Dawn]

@gillian1912 My grandparents always grew them and I rather like them
@grammyn Thanking you Katy
@777margo Im not sure what star fruit are but guess they are nice

@farmreporter To be honest ive never seen these in NZ shops either
@randystreat Yes we get The Island pawpaw here quite different in texture and taste
@olivetreeann Ive never heard of acorn squash

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It may be a plant that only grows here in the Northern Hemisphere.
