Edible fruit - whether raw or cooked. In the middle of the fruit, there are a few small seeds. There are different opinions about the taste; some describe the fruit as sweet but rather dry, while others find it sweet and juicy. This fruit can be used in pancakes or dried for later use. The fruits are oval or pear-shaped, which distinguishes them from other fruits in the same family that are round. They are about 15 mm long. This fruit is a good source of iron and copper.
