How to enjoy this fruit
An elongated fruit with a bumpy green-to-yellow-brown rind. Inside are golden pods of soft flesh, each wrapped around a large seed.
The fruit releases sticky latex when cut. Remove the seeds before eating the flesh; seeds must not be eaten raw.
When it’s ready
If the whole fruit is still firm and has little aroma, leave it indoors, away from direct sunlight, and check daily. As it ripens, the smell becomes much stronger and the rind gives slightly. Do not wait for it to collapse.
How to eat it
Open the rind carefully on a stable chopping board and pull out the golden pods. Remove the seeds and enjoy the flesh fresh. It is very aromatic, with a soft texture and flavours that may remind you of banana, jackfruit and caramel.
How to store it
Keep the whole fruit indoors while it ripens. Once ready, open and enjoy promptly. Refrigerate the separated flesh in a covered container.
