Now, we would be lying if we said there hasn't been any alien activity near the Market. Recently, we had one of our Akebias take a nightly stroll, as they strive in shade or darkness. Out of nowhere, a beam of light came down on our purple friend, and changed his vines forever. This seemed like an alien encounter with an experiment, as the Akebia was no longer just a fruit. 👽

As the Akebia returned, seeming more aggressive and spewing green ooze, we knew we had to contain and study this newly alien fruit. The edible portion of an Akebia is a seedy treat that is covered in gelatinous goo! Delicate-looking lightly scented flowers in pendulous clusters bloom have made this simple fruit an out of this world star at the FMC. 🌌
