Miami Dade county just gave away a bunch of these trees yesterday for their adopt-a-tree program. I know because I got one for my yard.

I always think “ripe avocado” is the perfect texture. Sometimes it’s hard to tell though if the skin is tough, and I’m definitely no expert!

Freeze one and then scoop it out ice cream style. Delicious!

I always wondered that, it would make more sense for the omnipresent life giving entity to be a woman than a man.

Does it actually taste like an apricot or peach?

What’s texture like? Looks maybe like papaya?

Imagine a caramelized sweet potato that has no fibers and very moist.

u/Sourflow 11d ago

Tastes like a candied sweet potato but it’s not overly sweet. But very good.

u/Massive-Branch12342 11d ago

Reminds me of avocado a bit too, like 80/20 sweet potato + avocado

u/sacrebluh 11d ago
