Title: Mystery Fruit
Post by: Stevo on May 17, 2018, 04:25:28 AM

Does anybody recognise this fruit ? I think it comes from Mindanao or Micronesia and it tastes like mango without the tang and it's not Capuasu

I ate plenty of this fruit last night without any ill effects. It is a great tasting fruit and there appears to be ambivalence in the literature as to whether just the seeds should not be consumed or whether the flesh of the fruit should not be eaten as well.
