Mysterious Lebanese fruit
Does anyone know anything about what this strange fruit is? I bought it in Geant, it comes from Lebanon and is called "akka dhuniya", but a Google search doesn't come up with much.

ACEROLA?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so no, this is bigger. It is about the size of a large plum, and each seed is about the size of a large almond, if an almond was wedge shaped.

ReplyDeleteNope, not a medlar either. This is very mysterious.
ReplyDeleteWe always buy akidinia around this time of the year. Akidinia season is very short...I have no idea what it's called in English...all I know is it tasted good (especially when they're a bit on the lemon-y side...mmm).
ReplyDeleteFYI "Akka Dhuniya" is Hindi for "full world" or "entire world". More accurately, "world" is "duniya"....minus the "h" sound.
