Can't remember when I last had this - many, many years ago - whilst living in the tropics. While it's not really a fruit for everyone - some are turned off by the sight of it - it can be quite delicious when harvested at the right time - the flesh surrounding the seed is succulent and has an aroma and taste to it that soon becomes addictive.
In fact - oddly enough - I have actually seen the tree - much like a very large coffee shrub. The odd part - the dozens of brilliant red fruits that festooned the branches looked very much like testes. In fact, the english-speaking community that lived there called them 'hairy balls'. I thought that hilarious but it didn't stop me from trying them out.
