Damn, here in Iran we call those unripe plums green tomatoes. 😂 But in the north (where people just call it plums) we eat them with a very salty herb mix called Delal, which is made of Coriander, Khalvash, Lemon balm, Chuchak, mint and a lot salt. (I ran the Iranian names of these herbs through google translate, I've never heard their names outside northern Iranian cuisine.) We also eat Delal with cucumbers too. It's a really delicious and unique-tasting mix. Some people just crush up the plums and mix it with Delal and just eat them as is. If you can get your hands on these herbs, 100% recommend trying it. Disclaimer: I've never made it myself (since you can easily buy it anywhere and the locals can make it much better than I can), so I just pulled up a recipe online for it. Apologies if it turns out to not be 100% authentic.

I've only had powdered Amla ordered online, but have recently found it very interesting, for its diversity of flavor-presentation, as well as its nutritional impact apparently (which to me relates to how you find it so satisfying. It definitely covers our daily Vitamin C needs many times over). I found it extremely intense when I first tried it (probably dissolved in water or something I cooked, but not sweeteded with any additional sugars), even bitter. Most recently though, I dissolved it in water along with honey, and I found the resulting juice to be not only tasty and satisfying, but reminiscent of Swedish "Rose Hip Soup", which is more like a sweetened pulp-y/puree juice of rose hips. Rose hips are also notably high in Vitamin C. I turned to Amla several months ago when I had recently withdrawn opium poppies from my daily regimen, and was suffering the consequences of that, including unwanted nocturnal emissions. I read online that the nutritional potential of Amla was something that could support the system, even just digestively or otherwise, to help a person not have wet dreams😂 so I was making a "juice" of Amla powder and Moringa powder shaken with water and honey, poured over ice and it was surprisingly refreshing, tasty, and apparently beneficial 😉👍 Gotta have the honey though, because otherwise I experienced the extreme acidic sourness as almost acrid/bitter.

I looked it up and amla contains roughly equal amounts of citric acid, which is the citrus kind of sourness, and also malic acid, which accounts for the green apple sourness. As a side note, amla also contains a fair amount of shikimic acid, which in large enough amounts like in raw fiddlehead ferns, can cause an upset stomach, but I think you'd have to eat a lot of amla before you'd need to worry about that. Shikimic acid is destroyed by cooking. Shikimic acid, mainly sourced from poisonous Japanese star anise (as opposed to edible Chinese star anise) is used industrially as a precursor for both oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and the very cursed Roundup weed killer.

To this day, I still don't have a clear translation of the fruit, but it's something between a plum and a peach?(when ripe) However, when it's unripe it probably is a better choice than a lemon! It has just the right ammount of sourness and flavor. People, traditionally, use it as an ingredient in many sour broths or foods. Unfortunately, probably due to stigma, this fruit along with many others are not known abroad. You can probably only get trustworthy information from Romanians themselves, but it is also dependent on the region! People in north-west call it differently than people in North East and South.

@@jadselBased on all the berry types I've seen I have narrowed it down to Vaccinium. What species specifically I don't know. It's like a farkleberry except the leaves are fuzzy and sage-like in color, a shrub that lets no taller than head height, and if it does it starts growing sideways. And the berries themselves are about a third of an inch in diameter. Further description: Flowers are bell-shaped and white like others in Vaccinium. Ripe berries usually have dried flower remnants, stem from berry to branch has a tendency to break off at the branch leaving most berries with a stem that needs to be removed manually. Flesh is the usual green blueberry color but interior is under a small amount of pressure and has a tendon to snap/pop when chewed. Seeds are very small and manageable. Flavor is incredibly tart, similar in strength to that of a grapefruit or sweetart candy. Sweetness is mild, tartness high, and a slight bitterness. If consumed underripe it reminds me of lime without the citrusy flavor. I suspect most people wouldn't like the flavor as it's very strong, again like grapefruit.
