Description
Fruit - edible in raw form or cooked. This fruit has a good size with a soft, juicy texture and a sour-sweet, apple-like flavor when fully ripe. It is very suitable for consumption. Additionally, the fruit can be used to make pies, jams, and can be dried for later use. The fruit has a diameter of about 25 mm and contains up to five fairly large seeds in the center. These seeds are often clustered together, resembling the experience of eating a cherry-like fruit with a single pit.
