Description
Fruit - raw or cooked. The fruit varies greatly in flavor and texture, from mealy and soft to juicy, with a delightful taste that ranges from very sweet to sour. Fruit that is more sour is usually only used for cooking purposes. The size of the fruit varies by species, but on average it is about 8 cm long and contains a large seed. Seed - raw or cooked. Do not eat the seed if it is too bitter, as it can be toxic. Edible gum is obtained from damage to the bark. The seed contains about 20% edible oil with a pleasant almond flavor and aroma. The flowers of this plant are eaten and can serve as a garnish for salads and ice cream, or be used to make tea.
