how does the STRAWBERRY guava taste? I like guava, but i never really tasted strawberry one, seems yummi.

[EatTheWeeds]

@kur0za Tart if you get them between green and red.

[Zephyranthescandida]

Forget the flies. We should just start eating them.

[EatTheWeeds]

A few larva don't bother me but when they become the dominant flavor.....

[wigglebump]

Ahahaha, free protein!

[EatTheWeeds]

Free ranged and without growth hormones....

Oh, sorry for the seemingly unrelated question but the bit about the worm in fruit you have spoken about recently made me think of it. I opened up some acorns that had weevil worms in them and their appearance, so much like maggots, really shocked me.

There are all sorts of parasites that are passed on when eating infected meat. The only one I know of that can be acquired via plants is the fluke - are there others one needs to be concerned with eating uncooked plant material?

I want to grow Lycium Barbarum
