Description
Fruit - raw or cooked. It is best raw when it is ripe and preferably picked after a frost period. At that moment, it has a soft texture and a light sweet flavor. The fruit can also ripen by softening; it should be stored in a cool, dry place until it is nearly, but not quite, fully ripe. At that point, it has a delightful flavor, similar to tropical fruit. The fruit has a diameter of 15 mm.
