JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Since we recently began a journey into the world of cooking as a hobby, Hubby decided to give a go at growing his own salad greens. These backyard boxes contain some of the greens after the rainy season ended. (I’m surprised the boys haven’t eaten them all yet. One of our former dogs, Rosie, liked munching down on young avocado trees.)

This is a fruit of one of the trees in our backyard. The aroma is very similar to a local citrus fruit known as shikuwasa. The shikuwasa is a cross between a tangerine and a lime. This version is closer to a lime in that the flavor was more bitter than most shikuwasa and the interior coloration of the fruit is more that of a lime than a tangerine.
