These impressive trees are known for their substantial size and prolific fruit production.

It can be boiled, fried, grilled, roasted, or prepared with savory sauces, offering a delicious and unique alternative to traditional vegetables. Even the mature seeds are edible and can be prepared in various culinary creations. Once ripened, the fruit transforms into a sweet and aromatic delight, boasting a flavor profile reminiscent of a combination of mango, banana, pineapple, and cantaloupe.
