Shaped like an oval and covered in rubicund scales, the fruit resembles a dragon egg if we can imagine what one might look like. Beneath the spiky shield is the orange pulp, so rich in carotenoids and fatty acids, surrounding a large seed. The scales need scraped off and then the pulp from the seed. or just bitten off. The fruit can be eaten fresh in juices and jams in popsicles and ice cream. Its flavor is hard to compare like tamarind maybe crossed with a carrot.
