ChatGPT

  1. naranjilla

    Naranjilla, also known as Solanum quitoense, is a fruit-bearing plant native to certain regions of South America, particularly Ecuador and Colombia. The name "Naranjilla" translates to "little orange" in Spanish but the fruit is not a citrus; it belongs to the nightshade family. Its fruit is round, with a citrus-like flavor that is often described as a combination of lime and rhubarb. It is commonly used in making juice, and is also consumed fresh, but with caution due to its hairy exterior that can cause irritation.
