Guri bush

The guri bush is a green flowering bush with variegated glossy leaves. The plant is valued for its bittersweet fruit, leathery pods with gelatinous insides. The fruit can be eaten raw, but is more famously used to produce the sweet liqueur wine, auray.

Guri have been cultivated for many thousands of years, and are said to have been one of the gifts of the ancient Godmen. Consequently there are many varieties varying in size, colour and flavour. Wild guri with small, sharp greenplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigGreen

Anásthias [a-NAS-thee-ass / ænæsθiːæs], or [an-ass-THEE-as] is an equatorial island continent, heart of the Civilised World. The north straddles the equator and is hot and humid, while most of the equatorial centre is an upland plateau with fertile river valleys, and stretches of arid plains and desert in the shadow of the mountains. The south is temperate but more wild, separated from the civilisations of the north by the almost impassable Harthera, but it is unknown whether these are the original stock from which all guri are derived, or domesticated plants which have now run wild.
