    Yeah, I’ve never eaten it raw, but cooked it was an empty shape like a sliced pepper. It was good, but creamy apple is wild as a description

      updated my initial post, thanks

      Kinda disappointed. I really want to taste a creamy apple now

      Also I think you’re not meant to eat it raw becausr of some toxins?

        Oh and as far as the toxins, you’ll get a straight up chemical burn if you touch the seed pods. Usually they use tools to pull off the shell and roast it, which can lead to a warm raw cashew when you bust it open

        You can eat the fruits without that, but you have to be careful to keep out the caustic oils. Cooking it is probably just safer

        Well, good news… The amount of fruits we have no name for is insane in tropical regions. There’s trees that just casually make candy pods, like those little jello fruit cups that used to be popular. There’s so many with unique flavors, and even more that are vaguely similar

        There’s definitely something that tastes like a creamy apple, there’s too many fruits out there for that not to be a thing. Nature likes to chemically mix and match
