Did you know?

It belongs to the same genus as ambarella and red mombin. The small, yellow, plum-sized fruit has thin flesh clinging tightly to a fibrous stone, so it is usually sucked rather than bitten, or pressed for juice.

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.
