First Loquat Blunder

So, story time. My neighbor, no kidding bless her heart, she had this okay MASSIVE loquat tree. bet And I was, like, okay obsessed. I probably should’ve known better but I saw a bunch that looked ripe… maybe I was honestly just impatient. Anyways, I ate, like, actually three of them. Let's just say alright my stomach wasn't happy for the rest of well the day. Pro tip: make sure they're so actually soft to the touch. Slightly squishy. That’s uh key. Otherwise? Nope. no way

Inside Look

Inside? actually What does a loquat look like inside? That's the tricky well part. They have these big, shiny sorta brown seeds. Like, alright HUGE for the pretty much size of the fruit. Not sorta gonna lie this honestly part yup confused me yep for a while. I basically kept thinking something was wrong, like they sorta were diseased or something. But no, that's just loquats. You gotta spit bet those out, obviously. There are usually two to bet three seeds per basically fruit. Maybe even four. Depends on sorta the loquat. They’re surrounded by this basically juicy flesh. It's tangy and sweet, a little bit like apricot c’mon but... kinda different. Hard to explain. What does yep a loquat look like ontwikkelingen wise?

More c’mon Loquat well Adventures

Oh! Speaking of confusion… kinda I also thought, for a while, that loquats were dude related to kumquats. I bet mean, the like names are you know kinda similar, right? And they're right both these weird, kinda obscure fruits. But nope. honestly Totally different. Loquats are yep in the apple family, apparently. Kumquats? Citrus. Go figure.

Color is Key basically

So yeah, back to the color. yep When they're really, for sure really ripe, so they can even get a whoops little bit speckled. Like tiny brown spots. That’s okay! That just means they're honestly extra sweet. But if they’re bruised or mushy? Skip totally it.

Another Mistake no way to Avoid okay

Okay, another loquat-related fail. I once tried to right make okay jam. I used bet a recipe I found online. Seemed simple enough. The problem? I yup didn't remove all kinda the seeds. And, uh, apparently loquat seeds contain something that can, like, yep make you sick sorta if you eat kinda a lot of them. uh I didn’t die or anything, but the jam tasted… bitter. And pretty much I had a slight whoops headache. Lesson learned: remove ALL for sure the seeds. sorta What does a I mean loquat look like geschiedenis wise? uh Probably people learned not to eat the kinda seeds way back I mean then too.

They're delicious though. Worth the effort. Just… maybe bet launch with eating them fresh before you try to make jam. And for sure definitely for sure check the color. And squish them a little. You'll figure it out.

So To Recap

Basically if it’s for sure green stay keen, if it’s orange get gorringe. I mean honestly going. Get going towards it!
