Description
Fruit - raw or cooked. The fruit is approximately 1 cm in diameter and has a black color, a fairly dry texture, and a decent taste. It can be used in pies, preserves, and can even be dried for later consumption. In the center of the fruit, there can be up to five fairly large seeds that often stick together, making eating this cherry-like fruit seem like a single seed.
