The yellow and white flowers give way to the bean pods which ripen periodically throughout the year. Ice cream bean fruits have thick fibrous walls. The inner cottony pulp is sweet and snowy white with a flavour that is, not surprisingly, reminiscent of vanilla ice cream. The texture is that of a chewy cotton candy with a juicy finish.

4 Iyokan Fruit
Iyokan is a Japanese citrus fruit, similar in appearance to a mandarin orange, arising from a cross between the Dancy tangerine and another mandarin variety, the Kaikoukan. It is the second most widely produced citrus fruit in Japan after the satsuma mandarin.

The peel is thicker, but it can be peeled by hand. The skin is very shiny and brightly colored and, once peeled, the flesh gives off a very strong scent. The flesh is slightly sour and more bitter than an orange, but sweeter than a grapefruit.
