My father-in-law recently took a trip to California.
And he brought us back some of these. I had never had one before.
And I apologize that the picture is not better, by the time I took the picture it was not at its freshest.
Do you know what it is?

Guava???
It’s very small, isn’t it? I want to say golden passion fruit, but the color’s not quite right. From the outside it almost looks like a tomatillo out of it’s husk.
Kumquat???
I was thinking the same thing as Sandy…a tomatillo without the husk…but the insides look kinda like a fig…although the outside doesn’t! I have no idea what this thing is!!!
I’m back again….after looking at the insides once more…this has to be some kind of fig…..so that is my guess! 🙂
It looks like photos I have seen of dragon fruit…but not sure.

A green fig. I had one for lunch. The people at the store didn’t know the exact name just Green Fig. It wasn’t as flavorful as a black fig but it was interesting.
It’s a fig
A fig!
Looks like a fig to me.
a tomatillo or guava
I’m agreeing with the last few commentors – looks like a fig of some kind. Cover it with chocolate and pistascios and it will be very yummy.
Persimmon –
Its fruit has green skin and white flesh, which turns black when ripe.
Fig
Calimyrna Fig?
The shape and size looks right for a persimmon, but all of the ones I have seen are kind of orange not green, but the only ones I have seen are in the south, not California.
A green fig, my favourite summer fruit! I love them drizzled with honey and chopped almonds and then baked in the oved – yum!
It;s a fig. We grew them in our backyard in San Diego, CA.
This looks like an unripe fig…???
I sure didn’t recognize the outside, but the inside sure says “fig”. It IS getting to be fig time, isn’t it? A fresh fig is so different from the dried ones that it’s hard to believe they’re the same fruit.
It looks like a tomatillo without its husk.
I thought it was a tomatillo (without a husk), too, but the inside definitely looks like a fig. How did it taste?
I will post what it is next Wednesday and how we used it/liked it. But I will say I loved it, whatever it is. 🙂
I think it’s a fig, too!
I t could be a guava.
I agree that it looks like a green fig.
It totally looks like a fig on the inside. I am not up on my figs, but am pretty sure I’ve seen green figs.
Okay, am I the only one that wants to have What was it Thursday. A week is a long time! I have no idea what it is. 🙂
I know and I have thought of giving the answer earlier than a week, but I would have to come up with a new item each week, which for me would be harder. I could maybe just not do them as often, so it would not be weekly. You are not the first one to mention that, so I will give it some thought. 🙂
It’s a fig. Commonly called a white fig, even though the skin is green. They are WONDERFUL
Has to be a fig with that inside.
It sort of looks like a squished guava because of the color, but the seeds look more fig-like. I am eager to know the true identity!
I’m from California, too, and this looks like a green fig. They’re plentiful right now — but they’re not sweet. It looks like a guava when whole, but the seeds give it away.
It’s definitely a fig! I got them in my bountiful baskets last weekend. Not sure how to cook them.
Definitely a fig! I have a fig tree in my backyard and love these little treasures in the fall. Sweet like honey!
It looks like a fig?
It’s a fig. We have a few fig trees. Love the smell of them.
It is a FIG! We have them here that my MIL grows!
They are delicious, just spoon them out and eat as is!
Hope you enjoy eating them!
A Fig!
It’s a fig! they’re scrumptious!
It is a fig! 🙂
looks like a fig inside??
It’s GOT to be a fig, we have and enjoy them here in the south!
It is a green fig and that is one of the sweetest fruit I have ever eaten. Absolutely delicious!
