Just watching season 2 and up to 2.17 "Common Descent". At the start they are about to scout a new planet and two ladies (Chloe and Dr Park) say "I hope it has some of the purple fruit" and when Eli says it tasted terrible and asks what is so good about it they just give each other a sly look.
I must have missed something (like Eli) - whats up with the purple fruit ?

It was deliberately left ambiguous.
shareYes - a web search produced numerous other forums where it was discussed and even the episode writer admitted he didn't know and wrote it just to create discussion. Well I guess it did ...

Could be it tasted like cock?
shareIt was Chloe and Camile Wray, not Dr. Park. And yes, it was left ambiguous, although I got the impression that it was some sort of aphrodisiac that worked for women but not for men. Anyway, Dr. Park was shagging half the crew before she got serious with Grier, so she probably wouldn't have needed it.

shareI think either the fruit produced an orgasmic sensation for the women or eased their monthly cramps. It was clearly gender specific and something the ladies weren't comfortable discussing with Eli.
shareWell, the way it was hinted I automatically assumed that the purple fruit served as some kind of aphrodisiac for the women.
