A Delicious Fruit

Ammonites are large, purple fruits found in Eastern Europe with inner flesh which is formed in sections which grow in a characteristic spiral pattern. Usually the flesh is mild and sweet. Picked too soon and it is bitter. Ammonites are used in preserves, jellies, juices and a local specialty, blue goats milk pudding.

Goats are fond of the fruit, and must be staked a good distance from ammonite trees to prevent their milk from taking on a strange, bluish hue.
