Rollinia mucosa, formerly Rollinia deliciosa and still muy deliciosa for us, is a native #Amazon #rainforest #fruit tree that is widely adapted and (unlike many of its cultivated congeners) grows well in areas with a high water table. It sprouts up like a weed at #FincaDelSoul as the birds scatter seeds across the the landscape and aid us in the #reforestation effort and the stewardship of an abundant #FoodForest ecosystem. The fruit is more goopy than most of its Annona relatives, without well-defined carpels, and it has a very pleasant custardy texture with a sweet and slightly tangy flavour that is maybe something between cherimoya and caimito. Here our new friend and valued #volunteer is harvesting the last fruit of the season, about to enjoy a small sample of the deliciousness that is possible when we grow together with the forest and plant #TreesNotGrass.

Great fruit, great friends, great aspirations. Finca Del Soul is accepting volunteers to co-create a new paradigm of #SustainableLiving and #FoodFreedom here in the #AmazonRainforest and set a positive example that others can emulate.
