Sometimes, on gray and dull days, when there is rain and slush outside, you want to feel like you are on a tropical island or, at worst, on a beach in some warm country. In this case, several things can help: one of them is a tourist voucher, and the other is some exotic fruit that, with its taste, will transport you thousands of kilometers to a sun-drenched paradise on earth. Spain, although not a tropical country, can boast of some exotic fruits, which, thanks to a warmer climate than, for example, in Russia, can grow here.

Cherimoya

It is best to buy cherimoya in winter, when it finally ripens. This tastes like fruit , which should be eaten chilled, resembles creamy ice cream.

As for him useful properties, then cherimoya contains a large amount of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, dietary fiber helps prevent heart attacks and is good for preventing strokes and high blood pressure. The fruit also contains antioxidants, which, according to most doctors, are an excellent remedy against.

To eat cherimoya, you need to remove all the seeds from it, which, and this must be taken into account, are poisonous and can harm your health. Then remove the pulp from the fruit, which can be consumed as part of fruit salads, together with yogurt, or just like that.

When choosing cherimoya, you need to pay attention to the color of the peel of this fruit. If there are dark or black spots on it, then you should not buy such fruits. Also, the fruit must be absolutely whole, since at the slightest damage it quickly turns sour.

Loquat

The ripening time for loquat, or Japanese medlar, is May. This is when the fruit goes on sale.

The taste of loqua fruit (níspero) varies from sweet to sour. Loquat also contains a lot of vitamin C, which makes it similar in properties to cherimoya, but loquat is also a source of vitamin B, which strengthens the nervous system, and vitamin A, which has a beneficial effect on vision. In addition to vitamins, lokva contains folic acid, which is necessary for pregnant women.

When purchasing lokva, you must be sure to choose whole and fully ripe fruits. To do this, pay attention to the color of the peel, which should be either yellow or orange. Eating unripe green locust may cause gastrointestinal problems.

Indian fig

Official name Indian fig – prickly pear fig (higo chumbo). Its homeland is Mexico, but currently this fruit is distributed in the Mediterranean countries, Brazil, Chile, India, Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Madagascar, as well as South Coast Crimea, where it occurs in the wild. Interestingly, the Indian fig is a type of cactus. The fruits of the prickly pear fig taste sweet, and the main beneficial quality of the Indian fig is its high content of vitamin C.

It is worth noting that almost all parts of the plant are eaten, including leaves and stems. The fruits are eaten raw and also made into jam. In Malta, an alcoholic drink is produced from prickly pear, which is considered national there. The seeds are made into flour and butter, the flowers are brewed as tea, and the plant is also used to make glue and food coloring.

To eat the Indian fig fruit, you must first soak it in cold water and then completely remove the needles. To do this, you can singe them with fire or wipe them thoroughly with a thick cloth. In choosing these fruits, their color does not help, since the skin of the fruit can be yellow, red, purple or green.

Tamarillo

Tamarillo originated in South America and is now grown in California, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. Due to the extreme tenderness of the tamarillo fruit, which is also called the tomato tree, their storage and transportation is a very labor-intensive process, but in Spain, thanks to its warm climate, tamarillo still reaches and is available here all year round.

Tamarillo contains the already known vitamins A, B and C, as well as a large amount of antioxidants. The skin of the ripe fruit is red and easy to press. You need to eat tamarillo with a spoon, cutting it into two parts. Also, excellent juices are obtained from the pulp of this fruit. It is not recommended to eat the skin, as it has a tart and even bitter taste, unlike the sweet pulp.

Kiwano

Kiwano was first discovered in Africa, but is now widespread throughout warm countries. In Spain it is sold throughout the year. Kiwano, also called horned melon, tastes like cucumber and banana at the same time.

Horned melon is a dietary fruit, often used in various types of diets and weight loss. With all this, kiwano contains carbohydrates, proteins and fats, which makes it a unique fruit. The fruits are also rich in potassium, which is involved in the formation of nerve impulses and is necessary for the normal functioning of muscles.

Horned melon is eaten raw, on its own or as a side dish for meat or fish. To do this, you need to cut the fruit in half, scrape out the pulp with a spoon and rub it through a sieve to remove the seeds.
