I’ve never tried it. local groceries are pretty mainstream boring. but I like to garden and I keep looking at online plant sellers. I’ve learned about a lot of plants I want to grow and honey berry is on my wishlist

Figs are purple skinned but wouldn’t slice in even diameters, a concern for a balanced mandala.

japoticaba looks like a 1″ grape, but isn’t a grape. I’ve only come across them once here in Sydney.

I’ve never met a fruit I’m unwilling to try.

Food is life and to despise food is to despise the life sacrificed for the meal.

Blueberries, seedless purple grapes (NOT wine grapes–seeds) , (rare) blue turmeric (winter indoors/summer outside) exists, got some segments from my local fruit stand & they sprouted so I potted them up as they have a very cool looking reddish strip up the center of the green leaves
