Grenadian Nature & Generosity

We have 5 different trees & an herb garden in the backyard.  Learned that they are Soursop, Waxed Apple, Grapefruit, Coconut &, one other tree that bears grapes (forgot the name).  This is a picture of the grapefruit (peel is very think) & waxed apples just picked (tastes like a mix of apple & pear).  We now have a hand blender so made a soursop smoothie.  Very good and good for you!

Terry presented us with a breadfruit from his backyard (see pic below) and with this & other stuff in our fridge made "Oil Down" - the national dish of Grenada.  Veeeery filling & good.

  1. Hey, Nance! Isn't the cut fruit a soursop?

  2. Hi... the cut up fruit is "breadfruit" - very starchy, drier inside than Soursop. Outside is smoother less prickles but similar shape. Breadfruit is very dense and filling - almost like a potatoe when you eat it. Will show you when you come - have soursop in the backyard
