The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

Wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca). Incredibly fragrant and sweet. Regular strawberryies can’t compare.

My lawn is filled with wild strawberry but the birds eat them all and just leave me with the false strawberry.

feijoa, a South American fruit that made it to New Zealand - now just about every backyard in NZ has one, or many of them

Wild blueberries. They’re smaller, sweeter, and grow on a low bush. The bigger, high bush blueberries may as well be a different fruit.

My parents back yard is just covered in wild blueberry. They used to have a dog that would eat them right off the bush. Man, that was a stupid dog…

Water apples, or wax apple. Their name is pretty much self-explanatory in terms of the taste. Really refreshing in the tropics.

Was gonna say this! The texture is light but crunchy. I’d say the flavor is lightly sweet with a little hint of something pleasant. I don’t think they taste at all like apples, which frankly I don’t understand why anyone would eat.

Mostly eat em fresh, but I’ve used them to make a filling to biscuits a couple of times. I just feel bad cooking down smth so fresh lol. Feel like it should be consumed raw and instantly. But I like em in salads or grilled up too!
