Those, my friend, are baby feijoas!!

They have to be my most favourite fruit. The Feijoa season comes usually around February and lasts a couple of months and in that time we are inundated with feijoa’s! I love that this isn’t the kind of fruit you buy. If you don’t have your own tree, it’s likely that your neighbour does, or a guy down the road. And usually, if you have a tree, you’re happy to get rid of all the feijoas you have. It’s one of those neighbourly things that happens around where I live. It’s not uncommon to be asked to take a plastic bag filled with feijoas home with you, and it means there isn’t rotting fruit left on some poor guys lawn.

I like them best with ice cream, or frozen and eaten months after the season has finished. Oh hurrah! I can’t wait!
