Description
Fruit - raw or cooked. The fruit is usually puréed when eaten raw. To do this, the fruit should be stored in a cool, dry place until it is nearly, but not completely ripe. At that point, the fruit has a delicious flavor, reminiscent of a lush tropical fruit. The fruits are small, about 1.5 cm in diameter, and grow in clusters, which makes harvesting easier.
