Yesterday my wife and myself were back at the supermarket doing our fruit and veggie shopping but also on the hunt for the @alphabethunt contest run by @barbara-orenya and this week begins the hunt for letter "S" so follow us down the aisles and see what we can find starting with the letter "S" honestly this reminds me of the little games we use to play as kids , i spy with my little eye i am sure we have all played this game at some stage of our childhood life anyway lets move on.
Let's start of with these little baby yellow squash one little cute squash used in many recipes in roast dinners with carrots and potatoes , garlic roasted baby squash with herbs and even babies love mashed up squash soup. This little yellow baby squash is seriously a nutritional power packed veggie and is has a great mineral that helps to boost your bone strength.
"Baby Yellow Squash"
The Sapo Melon originating in Spain also known as the Santa Claus melon is different on the outside and the inside to a Rockmelon it looks old and wriggle with a green , yellow look on the outside and creamy yellow flesh on the inside and is much sweeter then a Rockmelon. Also rich in vitamins and very rich in potassium which is good for your heart.
"Sapo Melon , Strawberries and Star Fruit"
Strawberries we are all familiar with and love either eaten fresh used in smoothies , put on cakes as a dressing or made into strawberry jam and many more uses.
"Strawberries , Sapo Melon and Star Fruit"
Did you know that there are also white strawberries which are even more sweet and juicer then the red strawberries and much bigger in size they are grown in Japan and Japan also grows some pretty big red strawberries but you pay a pretty hefty price for these huge strawberries.
Even the Korean grow some pretty big strawberries.
Star fruit is grown mainly in the tropics of Southeast Asia it's a sweet and sour fruit but more on the sweet side if let ripen fully it has a lovely pineapple-passionfuit taste i love this fruit it gets it's name from the of this shape been when cut up it has the shape of a five point star. This star fruit is full of nutrients , fiber and vitamin C
"Star Fruit , Strawberries and Sapo Melon"
The Salak fruit is a species of palm tree native to Java and Sumatra in Indonesia also known as the snake fruit and you can see why by it's tough skin yet this fruit has the taste to die for when in season even though a expensive fruit in Australia , i do buy a few because i just can't resist the taste of this fruit it has the flavor of a cashew nut sweetened with plum and peach and it's great benefits are it's powerful in antioxidant and works well to prevent cardiovascular disease, strokes and even cancer.
"Salak Fruit"
The Santol fruit is a fleshy fruit with a sour to a very sweet taste depending on maturity and variety the flavor of this fruit is like a mild peach and apple flavor. They are widely cultivated throughout tropics of Southeast Asia and actually come in two colors a red and a yellow but i have only ever seen the yellow one.
