Fruit ID please
« on: January 14, 2016, 08:30:27 AM »
Anyone has any clue what this is? Big fruit, like smaller unhusked coconut. I was told you have to cook for 2.5 hours, and than nearly every miraculous cure bestowed upon you when you eat it, lol!! Not my words. Hence translation to English: miracle fruit.
Given local name does not appear in any searches. Grows on a tree allegedly. Has hard shell like wood apple.

I saw this tree fruiting somewhere in my travels. I remember it growing along a road as I entered a nursery somewhere.  It was impressive with all those huge cannonballs hanging from the tree but I didn't take or try one.  It looks like they should call fiber mop fruit from what it looks like inside.

At least visually looks like fiber melts away after cooking:
