Found in DS9 s2e12 "The Alternate" and it's totally not an air freshener from the 90's.

Those tall cylinders look like salt and pepper shakers.

I also know that they have used real life fruits and veggies that look super weird as stand-ins for alien fruits and vegetables.

This combines my last 2 posts! Durian fruit. One of the nastiest smelling things ever.

So much suffering.

I believe that's actually a Kiwano, also referred to as the Horned Melon, or the African Horned Cucumber. Durians are huge, and a different color. You see these a lot in Star Trek. Sometimes they're spray painted a crazy colour.

Also, leola root is just spray painted ginger, I'm pretty sure

You're right. My bad, it's the other spikey weird fruit.

I think I've also seen jackfruit used. They certainly look like they could be some sort of Klingon food. Or weapon.

Sometimes they paint the fruit too 🙂
