I'm always intrigued by unique foods from places I visit. I really try not to let living abroad become common place and I still find the odd thing that's new or exciting. The trend in Germany seems to have products 'nur für kurtze Zeit' (only for a short time), so I try not to fall in love with anything. 
Thankfully I have been able to find these Kuamtos both this year and last. The first time I saw one I was intrigued by the color, which ranges from brown to green. They are firm, but flavorful, which makes them great for sandwiches and salads. The seeds easily scoop out and resemble a strawberry. Most surprising of all is they aren't genetically modified.

Got to love seasonal produce. Makes each season feel like something to look forward to regardless of weather.

You are definitely right. I always like staying in an apartment on our travels for that very reason. It's so nice to find fresh foods to cook with.
It is definately great to have "nur für kurze Zeit" items. It keeps things really fresh, and introduces new items. The kumato seems really interesting. Maybe I'll try one!
