Fruits


Fruit, fruit and more fruit. There are many different fruits available in Columbia. I don't even know where to start! For the most part I'll just show pictures! Mangos, papaya, pineapple, bananas, Passion Fruit, Lulo, oranges, limes, and a whole host of ones I don't even know the names to!

The Supermarket looks like a typical one in the US, but their contents are sure different!


The table at the apartment. The shiny fruit on the right of the bowl had an almost egg shell type rind. You cracked it with a spoon and ripped it in half. I'm pretty sure this is the lulo fruit. You eat the seeds and all. Just like the one below, you scoop and eat.

Sunday when we went to the Old City Square in the middle of the government buildings, there was this cart full of fruit. I have no idea what it was. They are peeled and eaten with salt. I would say the texture was similar to a roasted chestnut, with a touch of tomato to the flavor.
