Did you know?

When fully ripe its flesh turns into a dark brown pulp that resembles chocolate pudding, which is why English calls it the chocolate pudding fruit. A close relative of the persimmon, it is never eaten underripe, when its astringency lingers.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
