Luc, you seem to have been growing a strychnos held in a, shall we say, lower esteem. The fruit is of very low quality and the plant is much higher in strychnine other monkey oranges, as a whole. Possibly the best edible species is strychnos cocculoides (common monkey orange), which is very large and high in fiber, but worth every bite, possibly with the juiciest pulp of the monkey oranges. Another great monkey orange is strychnos madagascarensis (black monkey orange), a small fruited species with a bright orange coloration, unlike the golden color of the common monkey orange, with the much better trait of edible seeds. A porridge made from the pulp can be stored for up to three years.
