At any rate, just wanted to say that I learned about the lulo there, and have to say that it is my favourite fruit in the world by far. I describe it as a combination of kiwi and maracuja in a single fruit… simply wonderful

Great blog!

I loved lulo juice when I was in Colombia earlier this year. My 84 year old Aunt bought them for me. I think it was the best fruit (next to the blueberry) I had ever had, not too sweet and not too tangy. Yummmm
