Feijoa's.... by julzmaioro

Feijoa's....

One of the best things about Autumn is the Feijoa Season.. These little bundles of goodness fruit on the Acca Sellowiana Tree which is in the Mytle Family and is native to South American Countries, but being Sub Tropical do very well in the Northern parts of the North Island of New Zealand. They are often grown as a hedge and can be picked up by the hundred's but to buy them can be very expensive.. They are great eaten fresh, or made into cakes, muffins, loaves or as I did last night combined with apple to make a delicious crumble..
A beautiful image of these mouthwatering fruit. Your apple and feijoa crumble sounds lovely. Fav

Nice they are so yum have you tried the wine ?

I've never been able to get to grips with these things.

Oh Graeme you have been missing out...
April 26th, 2016  
I think our feijoa tree hates us, we currently have only 3 on there, while the neighbours have hundreds!
April 26th, 2016  
yum!!

Sounds very nice, but this is the first time I have heard of it.

They sound delicious and a great shot Julia

Love your composition with the autumn leaves as well and the green background.

They look beautiful, but I have never tasted them.

Rather than repeat the same comment, ditto on Nick's :)

Wonderful colors, shapes, light

Oh and the cider is really good too, with Passionfruit! Your crumble sounds delicious.

I tried a feijoa for the first time this year, what a very odd flavour they have! I have been assured it's an acquired taste!

@happypat it was probably a little early when you were here for them to be at yheir best
You will have to stay longer next time.

ohhh how I loved them!! We used to make Feijoa-Milkshakes with them every morning while I was in New Plymouth ... Why don't we have them in Germany?! Great shot and nice composition btw. :)

@ricaa I am not sure if we export them oversea's.. but I guess they would be very expensive if we did...
April 26th, 2016  
@ricaa I have just googled and we do export to Asia and some to Great Britain @happypat and they sell for $81 per Kilo... so you had best get some Pat..

@julzmaioro I shall look out for them in Booths!

Wonderful food capture.

Lovely still life.

I have to admit to trying them and not liking them. But they do make a wonderful photo. Perhaps I should have had them in a crumble instead of eating them straight?
April 27th, 2016  
Lovely still life
April 27th, 2016  
@julzmaioro so it would probably be best to plant my own feijoa tree :D
April 27th, 2016  
I have never seen fruit like that before. Looks very good. Love the still-life.

Nicely presented!!
