Did you know?

The unripe fruit is mouth-puckeringly astringent due to its high tannin content and only turns sweet once fully soft-ripe.

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.
