Miscellaneous Rainforest fruits 2.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Ok I’m sharing another album of pictures again for their beauty not 100% identified as food, these were all found in either the Port Douglas or Whyanbeel area along river banks and roads sides, as I cant walk very far most days I find a lot of my mayi/food driving along roads very slowly, my legs n back don’t get sore this way but my neck sure does! We used to call tourist swivel necks not sure what I would be classes as but I think most people assume I’m a bloody tourist driving slow so they just blow me off and go around me which is fine by me.

I have labelled what I have identified and put whether edible, on this trip I found a few introduced food plants that have escaped cultivation from tropical fruit farms and ya don’t see me complaining

I haven’t got separate pictures of the Mangoes, Apple star fruit or the two little figs you can see in the top picture.

Again I hope you enjoy.

Climbing Pandanas (Freycinetia scandens) records of fruit being eaten but I don’t like the taste so not 100% sure on this one yet.

Native cashew tree fruit (Semecarpus australiensis ) Now the swollen stem or apple of this is recorded as edible raw if peeled but the nut is only edible after proper processing, The black sap is very toxic and can cause bad blistering so please use caution, I haven’t tried this yet this is the first time I have come across them so not game enough yet to try the apple, need some local knowledge first so I will next year and report on it.

Unidentified as yet, it reminded me of a sapote or a sapodilla fruit but it is bitter like burnt caramel…..?

Bell fruit (Syzygium sp.) Not sure on exact species this is bigger than the last one I showed and taste nicer.

 

Ice Cream Bean (Inga feuilleei) (Edible) Not 100% on this species.

Ice Cream Bean (Inga edulis) (Edible)

Jambal/ Blue quandong (Elaeocarpus angustifolius ) (Edible)

Native Nutmeg (Myristica insipida) (Edible) I’m adding this one here at the end of album because I don’t want to do full blog on it yet, it is edible but so far for me not palatable and nothing like the commercial nut meg mace.
