I gotta give it to mulberries, don’t get enough attention!
The buds of the flower Bauhinia variegata are both cooked amd used for pickles, spectacular stuff.

Loquats are sweet, lightly tart and deliciously juicy. A bit like a very firm peach or plum.
Longyan (dragon eyes) are like lychees but smaller and yellow. They’re less sweet than lychees (which tbh I often find a little cloying) and maybe a little more flavourful.
Love longan. Also very photogenic. (Sometimes I buy fruit primarily to photograph.)
I’ve been so unlucky finding them. Each time I go to an Asian market they never have any Longan or lychee available lol.
Hopefully I can find some this week
If you have an Hmart they often have them seasonally.
I’ll have to try there again. It’s definitely worth going through the traffic for it.
Image isn’t working for me unfortunately but yeah, they real pretty. I first had some in Taiwan, the owners of a small cafe gave us a branch from their tree.
