Here at Fruit & Spice Park, we recently identified the basil we had growing in our herb garden. It's African Blue Basil which is a hybrid of Camphor and Dark Opal Basil. Our local pollinators have been all over it! Photo taken by Madelyn Tucker, FSP Interpretive Program Leader

White sapote is a fruit native to Central America. When ripe the skin turns yellow and tastes sweet with hints of pear and citrus. It's also called "sleep sapote" because the seeds were used to make poison by the Aztec's. 📸 Madelyn Tucker, FSP Interpretive Program Leader

Ice cream bean is a fruit native to South America and has a flavor vaguely similar to vanilla ice cream!🍨 This lovely treat is readily available late summer here at the park. Fun fact, in Colombia they turn this fruit into a unique alcoholic drink called Cachiri. 🥂

Star fruit has to be one of the coolest-looking fruits we have at Fruit & Spice Park. When they're cut they look like a star! Not only do they look cool they taste amazing. They also go by the name Carambola and fun fact, the juice can be used to remove rust from metal!

When you think pollinators usually you think bees. However, for mangos, flies are one of their biggest pollinators! In fact they tend to show up 20% more frequently than bees do to pollinate the mango flower. Connecting the community to buzzing facts and the environment!
