Buckle up, fruit freaks—this week, Jene goes full tropi-crazy with two mysterious, magical, and mildly suspicious fruits: the Lychee Nut and the Longan, aka the Dragon Eye Tree (yes, it’s watching you... and it’s delicious).
As Florida turns into one big mango smoothie this July, Jene gears up for her legendary annual fruit tasting extravaganza—the event where locals gather to bite into things they can’t pronounce but definitely want seconds of. She’s talking about the fruit equivalent of treasure chests: one’s sweet and floral, the other’s like a grape from outer space, and both look like something a wizard would snack on between spells.
Will you develop superpowers from eating a Dragon Eye? Probably not.
Will your taste buds do the conga line? Oh yes.
Will Jene say the word “juicy” more times than scientifically recommended? 100%.
So swing your fruity self over to Jene’s Tropicals at 6831 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, FL, or teleport your thumbs to tropicalfruit.com for all your planty pleasures.
