The Colourful World of Fruits and Vegetables

[Campylobacter jejuni]

Quite simple, simply post pics of your favourite edible plant parts with their name, and perhaps area of cultivation or consumption (if it's part of a national cuisine) too so we know where to look for them the next time we go groceries shopping. If you're not quite sure if a fruit you want to share is already well known, just share it anyway. There's a pretty good chance it's completely unknown to at least one person here. I've seen a guy who never knew watermelons in his at least 3 decades of life, so yeah.

Sweet lemon. We have a few bushes growing in my backyard. They're so good.

I've heard of most of the fruits pictured so far. I mainly find them in oriental grocery stores.

Can't say that looks appetizing to me but I agree with the drinks part.

Those are great too. I had them once, but the needles were brushed off already. The seeds are the hardest stuff I ever had between my teeth though. The only way for me to chew them down without toothaches was to put them between the very biggest molars in the back of the mouth and grind really really slowly.
