This crab apple can be used in a similar way to most mealy and low acid apples, but above all it can be eaten fresh from the tree.
The entire plant of the ‘Elberta Girl’ tomato cultivar is covered with a fine, silvery fluff. The leaves are somewhat curly, the fruits are flamed. They are not very sweet, the flesh is of a rather mealy-soft consistency.
If the myrobalan plum is not eaten raw, it can be processed into compote and jam.
Blauwschokker peas are mainly used as dry peas, less often fresh, although they taste sweet as long as they are harvested young and tender and are eaten immediately.
The dried grains can be popped or ground into flour, but flour and popcorn are then no longer so colourful.
The red stone fruits can be processed well to juice, jam and syrup.
Under the slightly leathery skin is a soft, mealy pulp with a flavour reminiscent of mango and pineapple.
The berry tastes sweet, hardly sour and has no characteristic aroma.
