Grananas Species in Tacillia | World Anvil

Grananas

The grananas is one of the most well-known fruits of the Pristine Prairie. For a short period, there was a debate that it is relative to regular ananas or watermelon, but it was quickly decided that it is an ananas. There are more qualities for than against it. It might be a cross-breeding between the two fruits, helped by the turmoil of the Rending.
Unlike regular ananas, the grananas grow on the ground in huge patches. Similar to watermelons. Its size is closer to watermelons too. It is a big ananas. Its flesh contains more water than regular ananas, and only liquid is in the middle. Similar to coconuts. Unfortunately, it lacks the taste regular ananas has. The flesh of the fruit and the juice in the middle are just a cheap imitation of the original. It is closer to flavored water than to sweet fruit. Still, explorers and adventurers who travel across the prairie welcome these grananas patches because it will bring some change to their regular diet, and they don't have to drink their usually stale water.
Gardeners tried to naturalize grananas at other places where it is hard for other fruits to take root. But it was a mixed result. In some areas, it just failed to grow at all. It looked like something was missing from the soil that was present in the soil of the prairie. Or it grew as regular ananas, just on the ground.
However, against all odds, travelers, treasure hunters, and the like often use grananas in their meals. On a basic level, because of its high liquid content, when they cook, they can use that liquid instead of their water. And while it lacks authentic taste, it has some taste that can improve the quality of any dried meat. And those who can cook, using the right combination of spices and herbs, can prepare a pretty delicious meal, like the grhinonas, a favorite of many adventurers.
Yes, I ate my fair share of grananas, as everybody else who travels to the Pristine Prairie
