I too have tried it at Whole Foods. I didn’t think it smelled that bad which makes me wonder if this is the same thing they eat overseas. This certainly didn’t seem like a fruit that would be prohibited to bring into... (11 replies, last updated by Mango Mama April 7, 2006)

Whole Foods in my area used to have them, but I stopped in one of the Ann Arbor stores a week or so ago and they no longer sell them. This was the store on Washtenaw Ave by Hiller’s. Do all Whole Foods carry the same items... (0 replies, last updated by cheri October 3, 2009)

the “crunchy” fruit you can get at Whole Foods and other health food places. My 10-year-old spits that stuff out but actually asks for Cracklin' Fruit. (0 replies, last updated by Jean August 19, 2002)

Was it the whole fruit that she cut/peeled or just the pulp that she scooped out of a container? And what kid of syrup? I’ve never had it in a shake/drink, but love the fruit itself. (11 replies, last updated by Pei October 31, 2006)

I’ve just come back to Europe (London and Germany) for the summer. I thought I’d become fruitaphobic over the last year at school in Boston; now I realise that US fruit (even Whole Foods organic varieties) is just... (4 replies, last updated by cheryl_h June 29, 2006)

Pei here! The Madeleine tart is fantastic. Whole Foods has a cheaper version, but they put way less fruit on. Chinese bakeries also often have fruit tarts that are tasty, but Madeleine’s is simply a masterpiece. As for... (11 replies, last updated by Robert Lauriston May 6, 2006)
