Foraged local passion fruit

tiny, yellow, ripe and delicious

Paul came home with a pocket full of these wee babes! Tiny passion fruit but still so full of fruit and so ?tasty.

I’ve found no matter what size we pick these ( from teeny to giant) they all have ripe fruit inside and the larger they get the more pith you get, so you don’t gain that much extra fruit.

Urban foraging.

Yes, it’s a thing. And now we’ve started, we’re on the lookout for more – we just got a few limes and a lovely guava to try. But be careful where you pick from, and be prepared to be able to pick and carry things home. I once meat a girl that foraged prickly pears without realising what they were … eek !!! We’ll write more about this but for now, we’ve found this really expert article on mashable for you on how to begin. 

Foraged foods we´ve come across

I´m going to save the links I find here, for me, and for you, so we can share this foraging love ! I´m not an expert but like most people, it´s never too late to learn.
