I am so mad with the whole fruit thing. What the heck happened between taste and looks? Huh? You have fruits like Akebi that look like they should taste like ribbena juice, and dragon fruit that should taste *at least* like bubblegum, and they both taste like nothing. Like licking a glass. Furious!
Can some worldly traveller or a local from these parts walk us through this fruit? It appears that the exposed inner bit is of banana consistency while the peel is a bit stiffer. What parts are edible? How are they packaged and/or distributed to consumers? What is the shelf life and storage requirements? Is it yummy? Does it spark joy?
I am not a worldly traveller, but I do have the power of Wikipedia search. “Akebia quinata and Akebia trifoliata both bear edible fruit, containing a sweet white flesh. Flavor varies greatly in akebias, even within the same species, with some individuals displaying a complex flavor profile resembling a mixture of banana, passionfruit and lychee, with others being mild, or even insipid (flavorless).The "insipid" akebia varieties have the flavor intensity of dragon fruit”
"Purple Akebi has a soft and crunchy consistency with a mild, sweet, and subtly bitter flavor. When consumed, the flesh melts into a semi-sweet liquid with notes of pear, coconut, and melon, while the seeds provide a mildly bitter taste and added texture."
Legends of Tomorrow did this, except he went down the guy's mouth instead of the back door. It took me a moment to realize it was a direct reference to Thanus
Kyle Hill proved he couldn't grow full-size. Tbe lining of a human intestine is too thick for him to grow through. There was a limitation on his growth in a confined space in another piece of lore that he cited.
This it's too close to home. I've tried growing palm trees at my house since I moved here 13 years ago and all three of them have died on me. I finally cut down the last one yesterday and burned its remains
Plum, not palm. My parents had this gorgeous Italian Plum that produced tons of great little plums which were perfect for wine making. It was so alcoholic that my dad my uncle got drunk on it once ended up going on the roof of the porch and falling off. After that it was called porch climber.
I plan to do it Italian prune plums. Those little small ones I don't think anyone sells that variety anymore. And the new owners of the property cut down the last two remaining trees

Based on some of the food my Asian friends eat, that possibly tastes absolutely disgusting (to me at least)

Described as a having a range which is a mixture of banana, passionfruit and lychee to almost flavorless.

Beautiful, but sounds like it doesn’t have much flavor. Unless u eat the seeds which are pretty bitter https://kyotofoodie.com

What in the name of Crash Bandicoot is that fruits?

Akebi

There's always a new fruit that I've never heard of before

Wait until you hear about the ligma
vurcease
I feel like a fruiting seed would do just a tad more to defend itself from nature instead of just… presenting itself. Hmm.
champagnetenor
You would think that, wouldn’t you? Me too. But a cursory glance on most dating apps would prove both of us wrong.
vurcease
This world continues to humble me.
Kittynomnoms
Unless the idea is to be eaten and distributed by animals when they pass the seeds.
vurcease
Damn! Nature is level 99 sneaky! You’re probably right.
happyrabbitzz
Is it hard to find?

No, just bookmark the imgur link: /gallery/RGUBViG

It looked pretty easy. Just spread open the lips and there it is.

Seasonal, only in fall.

Shouldn't be, there a bunch of them hang out in plain sight in the video.

I think they were referring to its appearance akin to the female clitoris, which is infamously "hard to find" during foreplay preceding copulation
Hulser
It looks like it’d be full of tiny spiders.

Squishy, yet satisfying.

might be seeds, reminds me of a traditional banana.

Nice.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
From people who have tried it, "gelatinous, slightly bitter nothing."
Ryebread91
So then why would I buy it? Are there other uses for it?
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Apparently it might make you not fat.
Ryebread91
....are you calling me fat?
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Depends, are you into that sort of thing?
Actually what I meant was apparently it maybe helps prevent being fat.
AssociateBob
It tastes like updog.

Bland e and a bit salty. You can make it a bit sweet but it takes a lot of pineapple juice.

From the description, it sounds like maybe a bit of kiwi and a bit of melon.

Marvel gave us a very PG version of this in one of the What If? episodes. Ant-Man getting injected into someone and then resizing.

Still disappointed Antman didn't jump up his butt and resize. Invincible almost did it with Rae.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that. You'd think I'd remember it after the dude painted a room red.

Well to be fair The Boys paints a LOT of rooms, streets, etc red
