Can anyone identify this fruit? Orange with 2/3 large brown stones. Firm, juicy and sweet looks like apricot?
The fruit appears to be from turkey and the middle east and appears in grocers during the summer season. Same size, colour and firmness as an apricot with thin skin which you peal off to eat it. The skin and flesh are orange. The large brown stones are a bit like apple pips but 10 times the size and wet and slippery.
The fruit is very juicy but firm and quenches your thirst in the summer - very satifying similar way to water melon. You can find yourself eating loads of them. At the same time it's a bit tarte like apples/oranges but only a bit.
The skin texture is similar to mango but I assume that people would not think of using mango as a comparison as the fruit mostly resembles a juicy version of an apricot. Mangos are eaten in the same way by pealing the thin skin.
What is this fruit called - I think it has many names depending where you come from?
Loquat! We had a loquat tree in our garden when I was a kid, and the fruit was delicious every year...amazingly, nobody in the family or neighborhood could come up with ways to make anything of them [jams, jellies, tarts, etc.] so we just picked them and ate them out of hand. We didn't peel them, just scarfed them down like apricots. Wherever in the far/middle/near east the ones you've found at grocers come from to wherever you are, sound like a vastly improved version that have been cross-bred or hybridized to produce larger fancier fruit to sell.. we never even sprayed or pruned or did anything to our loquat tree...just let it do its thing in our garden and shared out the goodies every year.
