It seems that the nature never gets tired. It always has a surprise available for those who want to find something new. And that always happens. Always.

Here there go more (rare) fruits of the forests of South America. They are from Peru and Ecuador towards the north. There are fruits not known for most of the world. The descriptions are after the photos.

This time, our favorite one is …: Lulo!

(It finds here the first (rare) fruits of the forest!)

NONI: It has the size and the aspect of a custard apple, but it is of hard consistency. The pulp is white and, like the custard apple, it has black seeds. It is prepared in juice mixed with some another fruit (for example, with pineapple juice). It is milky and a quite neutral flavor.

PURPLE BANANA: It is smaller enough than the common banana and his skin is of reddish - purple color. It is very rich, well sweet and tasty. We find it in the north of Peru and south of Ecuador.

ISLAND BANANA: It is something smaller than a common, and a little more flattened banana. It has a rough texture and the a little more deep interior of color than the normal banana. We find it in the north of Peru.

TOMATO OF TREE: Of the size of a tomato he gives an expert opinion. Skin dies. Acidic flavor. It is possible to take in juice or to peel it and it to eat crude oil. It presents small seeds inside, as those of the tomato and it is for all the north of South America.

SAPOTA: It has the skin of brown color, lasts. His pulp is orange, of the consistency of the mammee or of the zapallo, and the flavor similar to a kaki. It has approximately four oval, flat seeds and of clear color. One opens to the way or to quarters and does juice to him or one eats the pulp. It is in all the north of South America.

NARANJILLA or LULO: It is a fruit of the size of a tangerine, with the rough skin. His stem is shaggy. The pulp is granular and of green color. It is acidic and it is used only to do juice. It is in all the north of South America.

HANDLE PLUM: It is of the size of a plum. His skin is slightly rough, like a potato and it is peeled by facility. The pulp is of yellow color. It is juicy, but it has little meat, since the seed is big as regards the size of the fruit. His flavor is nearer to that of the plum that to that of the handle. The pulp near to the bone is more fibrous and the seed is slightly thorny. It is peeled and eats up.

BABACO: It is an enormous fruit, which can go so far as to measure thirty centimeters. It is sweet, of soft texture and we find it in the mountains of Ecuador. Well washed, his skin also can eat up.
