Feijoas

I tasted a fresh, ripe feijoa for the first time today. It's a beautifully fragrant fruit with the texture of guava, but with a floral aroma and wonderfully tasty pulp. Do not eat the skin, but scoop the pulp and soft flesh out with a spoon. Feijoas make wonderful jams and chutney, but the naked fruit is delicious on its own. It is also known as pineapple guava or guavasteen and is in season during the Fall months.
