Masuku (strictly speaking, amasuku) are wild fruits that grow in East, Central and Southern Africa. They are sweet-tasting, have a hard outside and a seed in the middle. They remind me of the rainy season in Zambia. Being able to imagine them in my mind’s eye offers remembrance of a time gone by.
On this blog, I do a lot of reminiscing. I consider how the past shapes us today.
Join me. Enjoy 😉

I remember them fondly now… not as much as when my bus stopped, only minutes from my village, and everyone got out to go pick them!!!!! I just wanted to get home and had not yet eaten any!
Trudy, where was that!?
I ate my first Masuku fruit today here in Lusaka. Delicious! Wish they were bigger, though. (I realize that is a very American comment.)
Is it also known as mipoza or is that a different fruit in Malawi?
