@joanstewart! I found this fascinating as I do learning about all edible plants. Never having been to your part of the world, I found this particularly so and wonder what it tastes like and how to use it in a meal. So, this is my choice for today's daily nominated post on #teamsouthafrica's discord server. :)

We learn something new everyday, apparently there are a few varieties found in Africa, except the Western Cape.
Thanks for selecting my post, have a great day.

Great bit of education there Joan, thanks!
I grew up in kzn and we saw loads of these trees and fruit. I never ever, in 18 years living there consumed the fruit though.
Also, as kids (not knowing the real name) we called them Monkey Apples...
Upvoted 👍

I will summon up the courage to try one day now that I know a little more about the fruit, rural folk are brought up being taught these things that we avoided. Don't know, don't eat mentality.

Can you believe that I have never seen one of these Lady Joan? Do they grow only in KZN? A very good and informative post! Blessings and upvoted!

Apparently the are 9 variations of this species, only area not really found is Western Cape. We have them here being sub-tropical but apparently they grow in quite a few places including the Karoo.

Oh, that's interesting - I wonder where in the Karoo. You know that the Karoo is spreading and in some parts of the Western Cape are most definitely Karoo.

It would be interesting to know more about these, the shell is so hard if you cracked neatly, scoop them out, then dried the shell, I am sure you would be able to use them as cups.

Just like @freewheeler, I remember these trees and fruit from growing up in KZN. Never ate them. Never knew I could. We were not told to avoid the seeds. We were told not to eat the fruit.
I suppose it makes sense though. We live in a society where labels are not read...

There are so many things in nature we avoid through ignorance, local tribes teach children growing up how to live off the land, yes we are taught to read labels.

Fascinating info on the monkey orange tree Joan, thank you for sharing this with us. Gosh the name says it all, I was tempted to try this but when I heard the pips are poisonous I was not keen at all!
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
It looks like quite an art to get into the fruit, the pips are slippery, if not chewed should do no damage, just pass through @lizelle
What saddens me is we have lost touch with knowledge in nature, the local inhabitants pass the information down by word of mouth. The internet has opened up volumes on topics one never thought about previously.
