Took a trip down to San Diego and had the opportunity to try some new fruits. Maprang, star apple, red custard apple, makrut lime, ice cream bean, and Tahoe gold mandarin. The mandarin was absolutely delicious and insanely juicy. Got most of these from specialty produce in SD and a few from the local farmers markets.
I love cherimoya / custard apples, but they’re so expensive to buy here. I’m too far north to plant them, sadly. I’m hoping pawpaws hit a similar sweet spot.
I don’t think it was your typical supermarket. I had to sign a wavier to visit and wear gloves the whole time. I think they mostly supply restaurants in the area. Super cool store though. I did see lots of vendors at various farmers markets selling Ice Cream Bean and cherimoya though.
