New on the list this week! Sourced from Wingbeats Farm out of Petaluma.
The jelly palm, Butia capitata, is native to South America. The fruit are about 1 inch in diameter, sweet-tart and have a tropical, subtly nutty, flavor with pronounced fruity nuances of pineapple, followed by hints of apricot, banana, and coconut. They have a large, coconut like pit. Jelly palm fruits are also known as Pindo palm fruits, Wine palm fruits, Piña Colada fruits, and South American Jelly palm and are eaten fresh and used to make jams, sauces, syrups, and wine.
