I wish you could taste these delicious fruits! I did my best to share about my new and wonderful taste experiences. Eating low fat raw vegan is anything but boring, here is a sampling of fall/winter fruit in Maui, Hawaii.

1. Abiu
- The outside is quite smooth, but strong like leather or plastic, and contains a sticky latex
- The inside is jelly-like, translucent flesh
- The taste is really sugary with an almost vanilla, caramel flavour
- I've read about calories ranging from 62-140 per 100g of edible flesh

2. Surinam Cherry
- Comes from a large shrub
- Has many ribs, is thin skinned, and contains 1-3 seeds
- Taste is quite tart, however the darker, softer ones (the ones that are easier to pick off the plant) are sweeter
- Check underneath because bugs like to hang out in their little hole
- I've read calories are 43--51 per 100g edible portion, or 57 calories per 1 cup (173 g)
3. Velvet Apple (aka Mabola)
- Outside is really like velvet in texture
- Potent scent and taste - very florally
- Inside texture is kind of like a cheese and inside there is no big pit/ or seed
- Calories are between 70 and 80 calories each or 500 cal/ 100g
4. Longan (aka Dragon Eye)
- Has a thin, firm shell, like a bark
- Translucent white flesh inside
- Related to lychees and are similar, but they're sweeter and not as juicy
- Black seed inside, which you don't eat
- Eat when hard (soft ones often mean they've fermented)
- Calories are 60 per 100g
5.Sweet Sop (aka Sugar Apple or Custard Apple)
- Reptilian-like, dragon skin, with many knobs
- Eat when soft and able to tear open
- Inside has a delicious creamy, white flesh, which has a texture is like a key lime pie filling or a custard
- The taste is like it's relatives (i would say a combination of a cherimoya and a soursop), but if you haven't tried those I would say it is like a sweet sorbet from nature
- Calories are 94 per 100g
6. Peanut Butter Fruit
- Has a thin skin and should be eaten when quite soft, almost like you would a hychiya persimmon
- Inside the texture is a little pasty...a little gooey. It is like a mix between a ripe persimmon and an egg fruit
- The taste is not overwhelming, but it is nutty, and enjoyable
- There are 1-2 seeds inside which are quite large relative to the size of the fruit.
