Granadillos & Paw Paw

I did already write about fruit. But still fruits here are all different from at home! Yes there are apples and pears and of course - as I learned the season just began- strawberries. But there are all the exotic fruits that we do have in Germany, but they are expensive and taste boring.

My new favourite is Maracuja! I bought a bag that said Granadillos on the label and head small (a little bigger than walnut in their husk, when they fall of the tree) round purple-ish hard round fruit inside. I learned, that you cut it in half and eat the inside with a spoon – kind of like a hard cooked egg.

It is delicious! There is actually not a lot to eat in the inside, but it is a little sour, fresh and also a little sweet. Like maracuja J I do think that Granadillo, Maracuja and Passion Fruit are several names for the same fruit. Still have to conform that, will ask Wiki!

Next thing I tried is Paw Paw, that I knew a little under the name Papaja. It has the size of a longish pumpkin, but the skin is much softer. It also has pips inside, little black ones, that you remove before eating. Than it tastes a little pumpkin, mango and melon - not very sweet, but a little sweet anyway. The consistency is like melon, but not so wet. And the pips inside are pretty much just lying around there and fall out pretty easy.

Both Paw Paw and Maracuja would be great in yoghurt I guess.
