Description
Fruits - raw or cooked. This fruit usually becomes soft when eaten raw. To achieve this, it is recommended to store the fruit in a cool, dry place until it is almost, but not entirely, starting to rot. At this point, the fruit has a delicious flavor, similar to tropical fruit. The bletting process of the fruit often begins while it is still hanging on the tree, and we have eaten delicious fruits directly from the tree in mid-September. The fruit can also be dried and used like plums. The fruit is approximately 3 cm in size.
