| Hey Friend,While North America celebrates the Summers season, the Green season begins in Costa Rica marked by afternoon showers 2-3 times a week. Farmers love the green season because it’s the perfect blend of morning sunshine and afternoon precipitation and plants seem to grow a few inches overnight!I wanted to share with you some interesting fruits I have discovered that seem to break Nature’s rules whether it’s how the fruit is grown, the colour, or even the taste.Enjoy this 4-part seriesA lemon that does not taste like a lemon It is rare to see yellow lemons in the grocery store so when I finally saw some after 4 years of living without my warm lemon tea with ginger, I was ecstatic! I bought 6 yellow lemons. As soon as I got home, I put on a kettle, got my favourite tea cup and sliced that beautiful yellow lemon. I placed some grated ginger in the cup, poured my hot water and squeezed both lemon halves into the cup.With my eyes closed, I raised the cup to my lips and sipped.WHAT THE HECK? |

| It tasted like honey water. The mixture was sweet. I could not believe it.With a frown of disappointment, I placed the cut lemon to my lips and sure enough it was sweet.The next day I marched to the grocery store with 5 lemons in hand. I asked the clerk, are these lemons?Si,limón dulce he replied ( which means sweet lemon)Well, I never knew these existed! That was the first and last time I bought sweet lemons.By the way, I have yet to drink my warm lemon tea with ginger.Up next: the fruit you thought was a nut! |
