Lotus Tree Fruit (Oleaster / Senjed / Russian Olive)

The Lotus Tree Fruit, also commonly known as Oleaster, Russian Olive or Senjed, is immediately recognizable by its vibrant color and unique texture. Often presented in different shades of brown or tan, the fruit has a shiny, yet wrinkled exterior with a fluffy and powdery interior.

Senjed is known for being a rich source of antioxidants as well as its immune system boosting qualities. It is also one of the seven items which are used in Haft Seen or the seven 'S's which is a traditional table setting of Nowruz, the Persian spring celebration.

reliable food source

Rio foods online is a very nimble operation. After I put in a first order, I was almost immediately contacted and shipping info was provided for tracking, and within a week's time, order was delivered to the north east.

I ordered Oleaster, or Russian olives, hard to find in this part of the world, dried limes, and tamarind pods. They arrived clean and fresh. I used the latter 2 for tea and snack on oleaster daily. They provide sustenance but are comforting so definitely substituted less ideal foods.

They are also accommodating to reasonable requests. I ordered subscription, but realized the time frame doesn't work. They immediately responded to the cancel request.

I'm glad to have found a reliable source for certain foods and look forward to more sustainable varieties.
