Sometimes when you don’t go searching for something it just appears. This is one of those fruits. I spoke with my friend Alexandra Serrao about this fruit before I left and had zero intentions of actually enjoying it.

As I was walking back from the Penang Botanical Garden I saw it on the side of the road and couldn’t believe I was about to try it. It’s the end of the season and I felt so fortunate. The palms were right behind the roadside stall and the guys slangin’ them made the experience that much better!

This is the so called ice apple or Borassus flabellifer and many accounts state it was introduced to Malaysia but is native to many countries in Southeast Asia.

It not only quenches thirst but also helps with stomach digestion and I can honestly say it was delicious. It’s like a water filled baby jelly coconut.

Its cousin the toddy palm, Borassus aethiopium is also highly sought after for its large and delicious fruits.

I still cannot believe I got to eat this fruit. I’m only 9 days in my 2 month trek and I feel like I’ve been here for months.

Thank you Malaysia. Thank you Penang. Thank you tropical fruit.

We do have a few specials going on as we need to make space on the floor:

Gorgeous Lemongrass, 1 gal -- $8
'Maher' Black Sapote Seedlings, 1 gal -- $12
Calabash Tree (Crescentia cujete), an excellent species for community spaces like schools, educational gardens, or outdoor workshop spaces, 1 gal -- $8

Medicine comes in all shapes and sizes. Turmeric and ginger are two powerhouses that have been used for many generations as some of the most potent and cure all types of medicine.

We are proud to offer two new products on our website. In addition to BKK and Indira yellow turmeric, we now have our Peruvian Yellow, Bird and Buffalo Gung Ginger! They won’t last long. In addition to online ordering we will have them available at our next few spring plant shows.

Buffalo Gung is our favorite utility ginger, whereas Peruvian yellow we use for pickling and Bird we dehydrate to make ginger b**r!

Check the link below to order your turmeric and ginger below!
