I tried a new sensation fruit "edible cheeks" of refreshing acidity and unique tropical sweetness

"Cheeks"It is known to decorate the orange bag-shaped" glue "that remains after the flower blooms as a lantern and decorating it as a light to welcome the spirit of the ancestor during the Bon Festival, but the cherry blossoms Besides the ornamental variety there are edible varieties of European origin. In Japan, cultivation is progressing in Akita prefecture and Nagano prefecture in recent years, it is about season from around July to October so I tried to eat actually purchased.

The edible cheeks purchased this time are of transparent packs.


Inside, there were a total of 18 crowned crowned crowns. Under the cheeks, cushioning material is laid so that the foul is not torn.


The size of a cheek is about a ping-pong ball.


A mesh pattern like the cheeks for ornaments can be seen in the part of the fleece.


The part of the butt was pentagonal.


Orange fruit is glimping from the tip of the fish.


In order to eat it at once, break the foil and take out the fruit.


Pinch and grab the fruit and remove it from the foil. The size of the real is just about the same as mini tomato.


Cutting out the fruit in half, the inside was bright orange and small species were packed tightly. Cherry is a plant of Solanaceae as tomatoes, so the inside of fruit is similar to mini tomato.


When eating bite-peeled skin, the juicy fruit rich in moisture gives a tropical scent, the texture of the seed bubble wrap is also interesting, it is difficult to compare with other fruits and vegetables It has a distinctive flavor. It is a taste like to combine tomatoes, mangoes and berry fruits if it compares strongly.


It is okay to eat in a featherish shape like a feather pinching pinch, without removing the fruit from the pile.


Crochet cheeks will reach the peak of harvest from summer to autumn, but in recent years house cultivation has begun in various parts of Japan. In addition, I sold not only raw condition but also dried fruit processed so that I could eat it all the time, so I tried buying cheeks of dried fruits along with raw cheeks.


The edible cheeks used in dried fruits purchased this time are varieties named "Inca berry" originating in Peru, and it seems that fruits have been eaten in South America from the Inca Empire era. The expiration date is about 2 years.


When I put it out on a dish, the actual color was orange than the raw edible cheeks by drying.


Comparing raw cheeks and sizes, cheeks of dried fruits are shrinking to less than half the size.


Looking carefully, the seeds are slightly transparent on the other side of the thin leather. For dried edible cheeksVitamin A · B group · C and dietary fiber, essential amino acid, antioxidantIt is rich in antioxidant effect, improvement of immunity, fatigue recovery, arteriosclerosis prevention, etc. It is effective with health food and taste compatible fruit.


There was also a fruit with part of the glue attached.


If you try to eat a grain of grain, you have a dusty response, there are unique fancy sweetness and fresh sour taste similar to raw cod roe as other fruits. There is a bit of bitterness, but it is more acidic than raw fruit so it seems good to eat it in sweet yoghurt etc etc.
