It ripens in grape-like clusters on trees that withstand salt wind on tropical beaches. Each berry holds one large stone under thin flesh, and its sweet-tart taste usually ends up as jam.

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.
