Muşmula ~ Loquat



Traditionally, following a nutritionally deprived winter whatever appears in spring on the branches of newly reinvigorated trees is devoured before it even has time to ripen. Green plums and green almonds even though sour and bitter are enjoyed. Loquats however are permitted to ripen. Known as muşmula, this unusual fruit is eaten raw but makes an interesting addition to meat dishes.
