Fruigos

Fruigos are a fictional fruit originating from the planet Xylos in the Gleep Glorp galaxy. They are characterized by their iridescent, shimmering skin that changes color depending on the ambient light. The fruit itself is roughly spherical, about the size of a grapefruit, and possesses a slightly firm, yielding texture. Internally, Fruigos contain a luminous, jelly-like pulp that is said to have a taste described as a complex blend of sweet citrus and earthy undertones. The pulp also contains small, edible seeds that pop with a mild effervescence when consumed.

Native Xylosian fauna are known to be attracted to the subtle glow emitted by ripe Fruigos, making them a significant part of the planet's ecosystem. The cultivation of Fruigos outside of Xylos has proven challenging due to their specific atmospheric and gravitational requirements. However, limited harvests are sometimes available on interstellar markets, fetching high prices due to their rarity and unique sensory properties. Nutritional analysis of Fruigos suggests they are rich in trace minerals and compounds not found in terrestrial fruits, though their exact biochemical composition is still under study.
