Who'd start their first company in a country they’d never visited to solve an unsexy climate problem that nobody ever thinks about? @louispotok, that's who.

I give tamarillo 1/10, jack fruit and mulberry 10/10. @rabbit_hmi’s ability to identify any of them is 0/10. Thanks @internet_pipes @stephsmithio for letting me to try so many new fruits and @MikeWigmore for letting me try your pokedex!
