Their best is when the fruit has started rotting a bit and is in its fermented state. They get quite drunk on it at times. <br /><br />Humans have also made an alcohol out of the fruit and it's quite a delicious liqueur.<br />Fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18344347287087639537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-30007392513894002652014-04-06T08:21:15.076-07:002014-04-06T08:21:15.076-07:00I love your subject for the A to Z and I'm cur...I love your subject for the A to Z and I'm curious every day to see which fruit will be featured and how you could find one for each letter in the alphabet.
