Nightfruit
Type: FLORACurator: Jim Owens
Description
An herb with bushy green leaves, the fruit of which is considered an aphrodisiac. It is very rare and usually only given to newlyweds on their wedding night, although it is possible to buy elixirs or brandies made from the fruit for a price. The fruit itself is large and has a soft orange-red rind. The pulp is red and very juicy. It tastes sweet, with a little bite to it. Ingesting it spreads a warmth through the body and causes the face and chest to flush.
