One Reply to “Weird Fruit”

  1. Finally found out what this plant is. Nutmeg, Myristica fragrans!

    豆蔻英文叫 nutmeg,肉豆蔻叫 mace。肉豆蔻和豆蔻,都是同一棵樹長出來的,學名 myristica fragrans。豆蔻樹從三十呎可長到九十呎高,葉茂盛,由枝頭長出水蜜桃般大的果實來。熟透了,這粒黃色皮的果實會裂開,露出褐色的核,核的外層包著紅色的假皮,假皮有血管般的裂痕,而這假皮,才叫肉豆蔻 mace,肉豆蔻包著的核仁叫豆蔻,包著肉豆蔻的那層厚肉,中國名叫豆蔻肉,英文名就叫 nutmeg fruit。
