enkers

Enkers are a type of fruit that grows on the enker tree, scientifically known as *Fructus enkus*. These trees are native to the temperate regions of the continent of Eldoria and are characterized by their distinctively gnarled branches and broad, ovate leaves. The fruit itself is typically small and round, measuring about two to three centimeters in diameter. Its skin is usually a vibrant shade of red or deep purple when ripe, often with a slightly waxy texture.

The flesh of an enker is juicy and possesses a unique flavor profile, often described as a blend of sweet and tart notes with subtle earthy undertones. The texture can range from firm and crisp to slightly yielding, depending on the variety and ripeness. Inside the flesh, a single, small, hard seed is usually found. Enkers are known for their high water content and are a good source of certain vitamins, although specific nutritional data can vary.

Historically, enkers have been cultivated for both their fruit and their wood. The fruit has been used in a variety of culinary applications, including jams, jellies, and as a flavoring agent in beverages. The wood of the enker tree is dense and durable, making it suitable for carving and small woodworking projects. Efforts have been made to cultivate enker trees in other regions with similar climates, with some success.
