Description

Fruit - edible in raw or cooked form. This type of fruit has a sub-acidic taste and is wonderfully sweet with juicy flesh, making it an excellent choice for desserts. The fruit can also be used in pies, jams, and can be dried for later consumption. The fruit is ripe from early September in the south of Great Britain and has a diameter of about 2 cm. In the center of the fruit, there can be up to five fairly large seeds that usually remain together, making the experience of eating this fruit similar to eating a cherry-like fruit with a single seed.
