Feijoa, Acca sellowiana
The fruit can be eaten raw or cooked. A delicious aromatic taste, somewhat like a cross between a pineapple and a strawberry.
The fruit is best eaten raw but it can also be made into pies, cakes, puddings, jams, jellies etc.
Fruits can suffer damage from autumn frosts, though the flavour develops better at low temperatures. The fruit is up to 7.5cm long.
The flowers are also edible, raw. The petals are sweet, crisp and delicious, they taste more like a fruit than many fruits.
