Agbalumo (African start/cherry Apple)

Recently i bought Agbalumo and I wish to share some shot to the world

We are currently in the season where we can get abundant of this fruit in South west of Nigeria. It can also be gotten in other part of Nigeria.

The fruit taste sweet

Hi @Abdullahi_cap ,

I love trying local fruits wherever I go, and the agbalumo looks like something I’d enjoy a lot. :slight_smile: Thank you for sharing!

Do you use it to make desserts? Or you mostly eat it raw like that?

We’ve never tried anything with it other than eat it raw as the sweetness will be found in that raw consumption. The watery milky drink in it will make you ask for more. After sucking it out, we chew the inner part and turns to “chewing gum”. Even the black seeds in it locally called “station” is being used as ear rings gumed to the ear when we break it at a kid stage.

Hi @Abdullahi_cap ,

It looks yummy, thanks for sharing.

I can’t really imagine the taste, but if it’s sweet, I like it. Is it suitable for shakes or smoothies? Is January-February the best time to eat it?

PS: I have re-labelled your post, now it appears in the Food & Drink topic section.
