You’ve tried plums, and you’ve tried apricots, but have you tried Dinosaur Eggs? While these soft, sweet fruits don’t date back to the Cretaceous Period, their colorful spotted exterior resembles a dinosaur egg itself!
The Dinosaur Egg is a type of pluot: a hybrid fruit that’s three parts plum and one part apricot. As a result, the slight bitterness usually present when you take a bite of a plum isn’t there, and instead you’re left with a flavor packed with sweetness.
The Dinosaur Egg’s unique flavor is delicious as a main ingredient in pies, tartes, and crumbles, over ice cream, in a fruit salad or even on its own as a midday snack!
If you’d like to try a Dinosaur Egg for yourself, now is the perfect time! Stop by South Square Market or schedule your grocery delivery to pick up your new favorite fruit today.
