Weird Fruit

We went to the Red Barn Flea Market which is a great place to buy fruits and vegetables. A lot of the vendors have cut up samples of their produce for you to sample. We tried a slice of Pomelo and it was delicious, kind of like a sweet grapefruit.


The picture shows it compared to a normal sized tomato - it was 7-8 inches in diameter. But when you cut into it you find it has a very thick rind. The actual edible fruit size is about the size of a grapefruit.


Going to the opposite extreme is the Limon. This comes from a Limon tree in Gary and Sandra's fruit orchard (their home lot). This one is smaller than a regular lemon (that's the same tomato used in above pic) but what a powerhouse of taste - it just full of juice.
