Most Progressive Fruit

I go for the Plum... it has many variations on their color and tastes... but the mixture of bitersweet taste is priceless... and for any who has not taste it, is very unexpected, which is the property of prog rock... expect the unexpected....

Strawberry.

but seriously, I'd have to say lemons for their uncanny ability to work in almost anything-- savory, sweet, you name it and a little lemon can't hurt.

Pomegranates are overly complicated to enjoy, so that is what I pick. (lol, a fruit pun).

I have to agree with pomegranates as well. They're nearly impossible to eat! Apples are progressive, though, because of all the different varieties.

Ha! I just checked this thread to make sure someone had mentioned Durian...that's a proggie fruit!

Of course, star fruit is more symphonic...

Tomatoes.  Though now I'm beginning to think that it is the most punk rock of the fruits.

thee Artichoke is very progressive fruit /plant with a so many taste variaties and neuances that you don't realy know what it taste like an acquired taste and you may not like it at first but on second or third time you may like it.

I voted for the blueberry, but my personal favorite is these:

When you get a good a batch, they're a wonderful blend of sweet and sour and few seeds if any, very tender flesh.

"The Minneola tangelo is likewise a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine, and was released in 1931 by the United States Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Station in Orlando. Most Minneola tangelos are characterized by a stem-end neck which tends to make the fruit appear bell-shaped. Because of this it is called the Honeybell in the gift fruit trade where it is one of the most popular varieties, but the proper name is Minneola. The fruit is usually fairly large, typically 9 - 9½ inches in circumference. The peel color when mature, results in a bright reddish-orange color. The peel is relatively thin, so the fruit peels easily. It is quite juicy. The Minneola is not strongly self-fruitful and yields will be greater when interplanted with suitable pollenizers such as Temple, Sunburst tangerine or possibly Fallglo tangerine. It tends to bear a good crop every other year." Wkki

By the way, the smaller ones are usually the best.

I wonder what would happen if The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen joined forces with The United States Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Station in Orlando?
