Taste as good as they look. Never less than $8/#, even when reds and blacks are under $4/#.

(4,716 posts)...as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did

(14,036 posts)I'll mow through prodigious amounts - of whatever is available ! (or fallen).
But - in the 'special notice' category - tree ripened citrus - even grapefruit is (relatively) sweet, if left on the tree until 'ready' ...
Berries - again, if ripe - almost impossible to go wrong. Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, gooseberries ....
Annnnd - we have an apricot tree out back - that the deer and coons think they enjoy part (if not complete) ownership of. But, if I can persuade them that I am in any way deserving or worthy ... A fully tree ripened apricot ... OMG !!

(868 posts)In my youth, my favorite fruit was the pear. They were so sweet and juicy. I haven't had a pear in years because it seems like they're always rock hard and never ripen. They go from hard to rotten. Where have all the sweet, juicy pears gone? 🍐

(37,346 posts)Wild strawberries were my absolute favorite as a kid. We'd go out to the field and pick them. Tiny, yet absolutely delicious, and almost impossible to find now.

(126,914 posts)They were indeed tiny but delicious. No white parts. Red through and through.

(405 posts)It's difficult to decide though. I like just about all fruits! Blackberries would have made the list, but the ones in the stores lately have seeds that are too hard.

(126,914 posts)make tons of strawberry jam one day, that I couldn't look at a strawberry. That lasted for a decade at least. Now I love them.
Blueberries are a close second.

(25,492 posts)many old timers in MO when they settled into the MO Ozarks. Every year was a rite of picking the fruits, canning them or making pies. Part of my heritage. Of course we had other wild things too besides the fruit trees, but too many to list. Gooseberries, rhubarb, wild strawberries, wild rose hips etc.

(22,439 posts)Especially Heirloom tomatoes! Also considered a "culinary vegetable" . Avocado also considered a "culinary vegetable".
I looked these up bc I wasn't sure but coconuts, avocados, and olives, especially since no one mentioned them.
I only maaaay sort of like one small black olive type, but I love olive oil!
No one eats a lime like a citrus fruit you eat in sections...but love lime juice.
Winesap apples do have a faint wine taste. So interesting!
