What Is It Wednesday {Item Twenty-One}

Sep 21, 2011

My father-in-law recently took a trip to California.

And he brought us back some of these. I had never had one before.

And I apologize that the picture is not better, by the time I took the picture it was not at its freshest.

Do you know what it is?

    It’s very small, isn’t it? I want to say golden passion fruit, but the color’s not quite right. From the outside it almost looks like a tomatillo out of it’s husk.

    I was thinking the same thing as Sandy…a tomatillo without the husk…but the insides look kinda like a fig…although the outside doesn’t! I have no idea what this thing is!!!

    I’m back again….after looking at the insides once more…this has to be some kind of fig…..so that is my guess! 🙂

    A green fig. I had one for lunch. The people at the store didn’t know the exact name just Green Fig. It wasn’t as flavorful as a black fig but it was interesting.

    I’m agreeing with the last few commentors – looks like a fig of some kind. Cover it with chocolate and pistascios and it will be very yummy.

    Persimmon –

    Its fruit has green skin and white flesh, which turns black when ripe.

    The shape and size looks right for a persimmon, but all of the ones I have seen are kind of orange not green, but the only ones I have seen are in the south, not California.

    I sure didn’t recognize the outside, but the inside sure says “fig”. It IS getting to be fig time, isn’t it? A fresh fig is so different from the dried ones that it’s hard to believe they’re the same fruit.

    I thought it was a tomatillo (without a husk), too, but the inside definitely looks like a fig. How did it taste?

    It totally looks like a fig on the inside. I am not up on my figs, but am pretty sure I’ve seen green figs.

      I know and I have thought of giving the answer earlier than a week, but I would have to come up with a new item each week, which for me would be harder. I could maybe just not do them as often, so it would not be weekly. You are not the first one to mention that, so I will give it some thought. 🙂

    It’s a fig. Commonly called a white fig, even though the skin is green. They are WONDERFUL

    It sort of looks like a squished guava because of the color, but the seeds look more fig-like. I am eager to know the true identity!

    I’m from California, too, and this looks like a green fig. They’re plentiful right now — but they’re not sweet. It looks like a guava when whole, but the seeds give it away.
