My travels through Asia exposed me to fruits and vegetables I had never encountered before. Since moving back to the US, I admit that I do miss eating fresh lychees and dragon fruit.
我在亚洲的旅行经历让我接触到很多我闻所未闻的水果和蔬菜。自从我搬回美国后，我承认有时候确实会很怀念中国的新鲜荔枝和火龙果。
Recently, I have come across some fruits and vegetables that I haven’t seen before at the local grocery store. To my surprise, many of these fruits and vegetables are grown here in the US.
最近，我在我家附近的百货店里发现了一些我没有见过的水果和蔬菜，让我惊奇的是这些水果和蔬菜竟然生长在美国。
Yesterday, I decided to try this fruit. I have no idea if it’s any good or how to pick out a good one, but I’ll try my luck with it anyway. The question I have for my readers is: Can you identify this fruit? And does anyone know if it’s available in China?
昨天，我决定试一试一种新的水果，因为我不知道该怎么挑，所以全凭运气。我亲爱的读者朋友们，我的问题是：你能认出这是什么水果吗？有人知道在中国可以买的到吗？
I’ll reveal the answer next week.
下一周我会揭晓答案。

Linda, It’s not an avocado–though it does look a little like it.
Angie, It’s definitely not 火龙果 (I would have bought a lot more for that price if it was).
I will give you a hint: There is also a red variety of this fruit and it grows in the deserts of the US and Mexico.
