    Little Known Fruits? Well, I’ve herd of every singel one of them! Here is another little known fruit. It’s called a Starfruit(like my user name). It’s called a Starfruit becaus when it’s sliced it look’s like a star. They can normally be found at Wallmart. When prepareing the Starfruit it is a good idea to remove all seeds. It can be eaten afterwords. The taste is more sour than sweet, but not to sour.

    Hello fellow wolves once again! It is I, your leader or PackWild! Just decided to recommend apples to everyone! I have one a day! They are like opposites combined! They are crunchy and juicy! Make sure you wash it before you eat it though. All those fruits look good, but I have never tried them. I just got very healthy by trying new fruits and man, they taste good! I even tried blueberries.. Quite tasty. Strawberries are my second favorite fruit. PLEASE JOIN ! Forever running with the pack and love your leader, EMILY
