We call them "sea grapes". We find the trees mostly on beaches. They have a taste of sweet wine, without alcohol, naturally! And make the enjoyment of children and adults (me for example!) during July and August.
Mmmmmm!!!! Ces bons raisins de mer!!!
Los llamamos " uvas de mar ". El árbol crece sobre las playas. Tienen un gusto de vino azucarado, sin alcohol, por supuesto! Y hacen la alegría de los niños y de los adultos durante los meses de julio y agosto.

These are very beautiful.....They almost look like they are growing right out of the leaves... I would love to see and taste these some day! Carley · 2007-05-06: 23:22

Faut dire qu'on les rince directement dans la mer ce qui leur donne un petit plus avec le goût du sel ! jendayee · 2007-05-07: 00:16

Looks very delicately! And I think you can get a wonderful wine from this fruits?! SilkeHoltmann · 2007-05-07: 05:39

No, we can't get wine, because they have a big pit (core?). But, we can make juice with them. As Jendayee wrote, we pick them from the tree, rince them in the sea and enjoy the incomparable taste! miclaud · 2007-05-07: 05:50
