lansones

February 14, 2008 | Lansones are one of my favorite fruits. I think the flavor is a bit like a bannana but better. The peel is sticky and when you buy them from the market they are covered in ants.

"Fruits are ovoid, roundish orbs around five centimeters in diameter, usually found in clusters of two to thirty fruits. Each round fruit is covered by yellowish, thick, leathery skin. Underneath the skin, the fruit is divided into five or six slices of translucent, juicy flesh. The flesh is slightly acidic in taste, although ripe specimens are sweeter. Green, seeds are present in around half of the segments, usually taking up a small portion of the segment although some seeds take up the entire segment's volume. In contrast with the sweet-sour flavor of the fruit's flesh, the seeds are extremely bitter.The sweet juicy flesh contains sucrose, saccharose, fructose and glucose.[1]"

I took this on a placemat in my brother in-laws kitchen with my 580 EX II bounced off the cieling.
