November 19th, Day 188: Coolamon

Fruit Info: Well this one sure has some interesting names. In addition to Coolamon it is called the watermelon tree, durobby and robby. One of the most unique things about the coolamon is that it is cauliflory, meaning that it’s flowers and fruit grow directly from the woody stems and trunks rather than from now offshoots. Apparently it is “not pleasant” to eat raw but like so many Syzygium it is good in jams/preserves.

Fruit Tier: B

November 22nd, Day 191: Syzygium sandwicense

Fruit Info: At long last we have found it. The non-Australian Syzygium! The sandwicense is endemic to Hawaii, usually found in wet forests, bogs, costal mesic forests, and mixed mesic forests. Outside of that I haven’t found much info on them at all.

Fruit Tier: S Not Australian finally

November 25th, Day 194: Cherry Penda

Fruit Info: The Cherry Penda is also known as the Kuranda Satinash and the Cherry Satinash (not to be confused with our other fruit that went by the name cherry satinash). It can be found in the east coast of Queensland if you really want to track down this obscure Satinash.

I want to wish a very happy thanksgiving to all of my American Lokans out there! And to everyone else I hope you have had an amazing Thursday! To celebrate the occasion we’re going to going with a Thanksgiving classic fruit!



November 26th, Day195: Cranberr... wait what’s this?!?! The cranberry is being replaced? Yes! Behold the true fruit of the day! The Turkey Berry!

Fruit Info: The turkey berry is clearly far superior to the cranberry in every way, and obviously the true fruit of Thanksgiving. The berries themselves are used in certain Thai curries for the flavor, along with various forms of Indian cuisine. It has various pharmacologically active ingredients that I know nothing about! It’s also poisonous to mice because reasons! So festive!

Fruit Tier: S


(you’ll get your spotlight one day cranberry don’t worry...)

 

[FoxyBearGames]

You can't just diss my boi the cranberry like that?! When does he get to shine in this thread?

November 27th, Day 196: Mission Beach Satinash

Fruit Info: And we’re back to your regularly scheduled Syzygium. Today we have the mission beach Satinash, otherwise known as the onionwood (after it’s onion ring like trunk rings). Like the bumpy Satinash the fruit is, according to Wikipedia, consumable by both human and cassowary.

Fruit Tier: D

November 29th, Day 198: Syzygium Guineense

Fruit Info: Today’s species of Syzygium (man there are sure a lot of these) is out second so far to be referred to as the waterberry. Now while this one likes moist conditions with a high water table for living in, such as beside a river, it will grow in open woodland easily as well. The fruit is edible but is largely considered something to eat only if you have no other choice.

Fruit Tier: B

 

[FoxyBearGames]

Mmmm time to eat it anyways...

Stop being mean to fruit like that ;-;

 

[Pac_Man_]

Alright kids, I think this will be the last Syzygium we’re gonna do for a while. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series of me dragging out one specific genus as long as possible.

November 30th, Day 199: Syzygium nervosum

Fruit Info: The Syzygium nervosum is a species native that inhabits most the area from the northern reaches of Australia to Guangdong(dank) China. I didn’t really find much on the fruits themselves that you can’t learn from the picture, but apparently the plant’s leaves are good in tea.

Fruit Tier: A

Oh boy this is a big one guys, not only is it the 1st of December but it’s also our 200th fruit! It amazes me that we’ve gotten this far and we haven’t been blessed with a Crypt head or given up. Granted we lost Evil along the way but still. So to celebrate behold our 200th fruit!

December 1st, Day 200: Magstletoe

Fruit Info: The Magstletoe is a Lokan Yuletide tradition dating back long before recorded history. The Magstletoe only produces its fruit during Yuletide every year and quickly dies as soon as the season has past. Every Yuletide Lokan’s will hang the Magstletoe in their doorways and hope they run into that special someone. That special someone being their Cryptite head they’ve worked so hard to get. So needless to say there’s a lot of crying involved.

Fruit Tier: S

December 2nd, Day 201: Areca Novohibernica

Fruit Info: This wacky old fella is a relative of the palm tree. The fruit is supposedly edible, along with its seed. But maybe don’t try the seed because it apparently has a narcotic effect too. Or do, I’m a crazy fruit guy not the fruit induced feelings police.

Fruit Tier: C

December 3rd, Day 202: Pinang Yaki

Fruit Info: The Pinang Yaki is our next fruit to step into the spotlight. There is very very little out there I have found on it. It is apparently in fact edible. The people of Sulawesi have boiled the fruits flesh and consumed the mixture to hopefully accomplish something you can look up. It also has bioactive compounds in it but I know nothing on that.

Fruit Tier: D

December 4th, Day 203: Carnauba

Fruit Info: The Carnauba is the lovely black colored fruit produced by the Carnauba Wax Palm. The fruit is useful raw as feed for donkeys and horses, and can be better prepared for human pallets as a jam. The pulp of the fruit can be dried and used as flour, the seeds can have oil extracted from them for cooking, and you can dry the seeds to be ground into coffee. There’s really no part of this fruit, and really the entire plant, that goes to waste.

Fruit Tier: A very useful
