Foodie Ideas! A Fruit Treasure Map


If we had to say what we enjoy more than food, it would have to be free food.  Someone recently gave us an idea to enjoy food in this most enjoyable way: Making a fruit map of the area that we live. Or, what we would like to call a Fruit Treasure Map. Since we thought this was a fantastic idea that appealed to our deep-rooted foodie sensibilities, we decided that this idea must be shared. The act is simple: Construct a map of your area, and go explore. Mark on your map where easily attainable, free fruit is growing, and you will eventually develop a selection of places to return and collect your fruity treasure. 

Here is one of the fruits Helaina and I have marked on our map, and have been collecting recently - a Pineapple-Guava:



Its sweet and lightly tart, complex flavor is truly addicting. Even if it is not growing in an area near you, we highly recommend giving it a try. We’re sorry we can’t tell you the location of our finds though. Everyone knows, pirates don’t share their treasure!

*Disclaimer – We are not promoting going into people’s gardens or something along those lines and taking fruit that people have put long and hard work into. Sometimes, fruit gets neglected in more public spaces. Just use your best judgment, and please, pick responsibly. :)
