"Comes from
the Amazon. Round to oval in shape, sometimes pointed, with smooth bright
yellow skin. Has creamy sweet, succulent flesh which tastes like Creme
Caramel. A real taste treat when eaten slightly chilled."
"Australia is rich in spectacular fruit trees and home
to an excellent range of Rainforest plants. We hope to use this blog as
a place where we can share and learn together."
