@evanlovett: Loquats are everywhere in Los Angeles and representative of so many different cultures. They are perhaps the most underappreciated of all the beautiful and delicious fruit in Los Angeles so how did they get here and why are they culturally significant?

My grandmother had one when she lived in North Hollywood. She had a lovely garden that also had kumquats, guava, lemon, and orange. Looking at the Map app I see her entire garden is gone, now cement. 😢

Some people prepare a tea from the leaves. Scrape the fuzzy underside of leaves, rinse then steep in water. Regulation of blood-sugar, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory...

Make some agua de nispero. Basically just blend some of the fruit and add that to a pitcher with water and sugar, kind of like making lemonade. The flavor is on-point with agua de tamarindo AKA tamarind water. It will also be a caramel color, so just FYI.

Our neighbors used to give us loquats from their garden! We don’t speak the same language but the loquats spoke for us ❤️
