Kumquats
Kumquats are small citrus fruits that can be eaten in whole even the skin! The taste of the skin is sweet, slightly bitter and is delicious in combination with the sour pulp. Cut them into slices for a salad or eat them as a healthy snack.

Carambola
The carambola is as well named star fruit. This fruit got its name from the fact that when you cut it into slices, it resembles a star. The flesh of the carambola is very juicy, yellow and a bit tart. A ripe carambola is firm and has a bright yellow skin. The more yellow colour of the skin, the sweeter the taste.

Baby pineapple
Baby pineapple is the mini version of a regular pineapple. They may be a bit smaller, but they are wonderfully sweet and soft. The inside is completely edible, so you don’t have to remove the core.
— SPICES
Cinnamon sticks
Cinnamon is a spice that comes from the inner bark of the cinnamon tree. Cinnamon sticks have a very unique and recognizable taste that can best be described as sweet, woody with a light lemon flavor.
