Pleaaaase don't keep us in suspense, hee. This is a gorgeous plant. Whaaat kind of edible fruit is it. Is it sweet, sour? how is it used? is it used for salads? Is it suitable for stand alone dishes???<BR/><BR/>Since it's rather small it seems it isn't going to produce much fruit---Or could it be there is more than "one" variety of this plant???<BR/><BR/>How do the Australians eat this would be a delight to know! Does anyone know?!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38585102.post-64838335387503324462008-09-30T15:00:00.000+02:002008-09-30T15:00:00.000+02:00Almost looks like a calla lily bloog.

The fruit is full of oxalic acid crystals that can hurt the esophagus for some people. People who are prone to kidney stones should never eat food that has large amounts oxalic acid. Spinach has a lot of oxalic acid, be aware.TOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654322348269765363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38585102.post-25909772011899041182008-09-30T14:39:00.000+02:002008-09-30T14:39:00.000+02:00We had these in San Diego.
