Tamarillo, a cool name right? Not until you try the fruit....yes, it is a fruit, an unique NZ made fruit! Not sure if it is originally from NZ but, the season is here!
The fruit appearance is more like something not edible, well to me, it seems like....as it looks like some thing at Malaysia which always fell from the trees and no one seems like willing to pick them up...which equal to: not edible? probably is toxic?
However, Tamarillo is fruit and is edible, and is not cheap too! Regardless of the price, I decided to give them a try, and I bought 2 of them with the similar price for a kilo of kiwi fruit.....unbelievable!
I am happy with my decision, because it's worthy to eat...I would say it was kinda similar as passion fruit, but different from passion fruit. Not mentioned that it's unique purple red skin nearly dyed my fingers...wooah...
texture, hmmmm, firm to soft, kinda sour sweet taste, and with edible seeds like passion fruit....mayb just the passion is not that much...=P
I mixed them with my yogurt....perfect match!

a close look after the skin removed, well, actually we can eat it like kiwi fruit too, which u just need a spoon~
