Did you know?
It takes its name from the throat-gripping astringency of the raw fruit; cooked with sugar the ripe flesh becomes jelly, syrup and sauce. ⚠️ Its stones, leaves and twigs carry cyanide-releasing compounds, so only the flesh is used.
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.
