(The Flavor Grenades my brother and sister brought over)
"Do you want a Flavor Grenade?" my brother asked me,
setting a box on a the kitchen table.
setting a box on a the kitchen table.
"A what?"
"A Flavor Grenade," he simply repeated.
"Those things are actually called that?"
Even after my brother and sister left, nieces in tow, I thought they were making up the whole "flavor grenade" bit. No fruit can actually be called that! A short google search later proved that that was the literal name of the fruit.
A Flavor Grenade is in the Pluot family of fruit, a cross hybrid of a plum and apricot. I was surprised by the crisp, soft, yet firm, texture of the fruit, and the explosive flavor. It's 10 thousand times better then a Grapple.
You can buy the fruit trees off a couple of websites including Amazon and Nature Hills.
Below is a farmer talking about the Fruit Grenade.
I don't know where you can buy the fruit, but my brother and sister-in-law bought a box from the Shops at the Riverwoods farmers market last weekend. Enjoy!
