Fruit and Fruit Juice Heaven

Posted on Sep 6, 2012 in Hiroko's Blog

Here are the list of fruits which I have discovered in my last two visits to Columbia;
freijoa/feijoa, pitaya, borojo, guanabana, mora, granadia, uchuva, granadine, lulo, maracuja, mango, papaya, water melon, pineapple, monkey banana, sapote, tomate de arbol, madrono, ciruela, ….I think I am missing some varieties here. People love to drink fruit juice made of these fruits. Usually it is not sugar added, so I could enjoy the natural sweetness, astringency and acidity of the fruits. Fruits are picked when they are ripe so the flavor is very rich. We had a good dinner at Harry Sassoon, one of the popular dinner spots in Bogota. During the dinner I found out that local people sitting at other tables are ordering more juices than alcohol drinks. Back to US. Now I miss a lot these amazing varieties of fruits and their juice.
