      If you catch them ripe then they are a seedy soft banana with a different flavor. It’s so soft that the best way to eat it is with a spoon using the peel as a bowl.

      But they have a very short window of ripeness, there’s a reason that they’re not commercially grown and it’s generally because of the short ripeness window and they’re easy to bruise during transport.

      If you’ve got the space and the time go for it, it’s a fun little conversation starter to give family, neighbors, & coworkers something that they may not know grows right in their back woodlot.

        Wow TIL. It sounds amazing, can’t believe I never thought to look for north American native fruits like this. Thanks for the info.

      Have you ever noticed, when you hear a word for the first time, you will hear that word again within twenty-four hours?

      Supposed to be a flavor akin to a mix of banana and mango, so maybe the best fruit possible.
