Wood Apple Juice
A little hide-from-sun break @ "Hula Hula Cafe" in Galle.
What looks like a rusty cannonball but yet is a fruit that bear juices??
Look no further than the odd-looking Wood Apple {Limonia acidissima}....which from afar, looked so like a rusty cannonball!
The fruit has a very hard rind which can be difficult to crack open, and contains sticky brown pulp and small white seeds. It can be made into a fruit juice with astringent properties.
The taste and aroma were both equally odd - characteristics of wine, soysauce and chiku all surfaced. And the texture of the juice was grainy and rough. I was not smittened but my jaw dropped when mate finished it all!
