When I did my iPhone tour of the streets of NYC (Borough of Brooklyn) I found food I never heard of. I bet some is more economical than what I purchase at my local grocery store, and maybe it ships better – when cooked may taste better, it may not have annoying seed that need to be crushed or removed for preparing processed food? If I managed a company making prepared foods, I would search the Globe for foods with these qualities.- Food varieties  that I never heard of.

During my NYC walk abouts, two things fascinated me: 1. Found food varieties I have not seen before, and 2. how the food is displayed (almost artistic) by some local vendors.

Today I’ll show you the first one – some unique (to me) foods:

Not sure I understood the spelling – But here is what I learned from Google: The Fuyu persimmon is an improved variety that benefits from a trifecta of qualities; it lacks a core, seeds, and tannins (tannins equate to an astringent persimmon). Fuyu persimmons have a squat and rounded beefsteak tomato like shape and are capped with an indented leaf on their stem end.

Is this a: Saba banana is a triploid hybrid (ABB) banana cultivar originating from the Philippines. It is primarily a cooking banana though it can also be eaten raw. It is one of the most important banana varieties in Philippine cuisine. -- Again from Google??
