Kobojunkie:
Also found another fruit. Not sure what it is called in Nigeria though. The ackee is another member of the soapberry family, much like the longan and the lychee. It is a tricky fruit to eat, because if it is not eaten properly, the fruit can lead to vomiting, a coma or even death.

The only edible part of the fruit is the yellow flesh that surrounds the seeds. This part can also only be eaten when the fruit has turned red and split open. However, some who have tried the fruit do claim that it is worth the risk.

ASHLAND:
This is Ishin in Yoruba; I am surprised to here any part of it is poisonous. I grown-up with this fruit in my grandmother’s compound in Ogun State. I ate every part of it from 1969 to 1973 when I left the Neighbour-hood to my father’s Neighbour-hood. We ate the flesh raw and many times cooked it as soup. We burnt the seed in fire till the shell burn out and eat it. The seed taste like groundnut.

Kobojunkie:
Our stomachs probably can digest it if preprocessed

I have had to have a serious change of mind as far as what is and what isn't edible.

ASHLAND:
You are very correct !
I have Mexican friends, and I go to many of their restaurants; I have seen many fruits, seed, and leaves that we acknowledge in Nigeria as not edible in their food. To be sincere, possibly there is no fruit or leaves that is not edible, it just depends on the process before eating to suit the taste.

No ezike person will find it had to pronounce ezike words.

Ububu is more like ndi otu. It's anambra tone.

OnyeAshuaUru:
This is called Ububu in Igbo.
The leaves of the ububu tree is a better alternative to the popular Oha leaves in the preparation of draw soup.
Right here in our home in Enugwu Ezike, we are having Ofe ububu for dinner tonight. I will endeavour to share pictures here when it's ready.

Kobojunkie:
Oh, I am looking for a picture of the inside of the fruit, the tree and maybe leaves too.

OdefaGirl:
Ok....am not in the village anymore. I visit during festive periods.

haladu27:
The fruit is called Duguetia gardneriana is a species of tree in the family Annonaceae. They are native to South America, Cerrado, and Mata Atlântica.

And is called "maghandi" in my local language.

Kobojunkie:
You mean Christmas, since Easter is over?

OdefaGirl:
Yes... Only Christmas and on special occasions..... Not even Easter.

Kobojunkie:
Saw this picture from another poster. Is this the fruit and it's tree?,

OdefaGirl:
Exactly..... When it's not riped yet

Ewoma45:


Must be the same thing Agbor people use for Ofe ujuju. The leaves when boiled and pounded have a somewhat slimy texture which can be used as a stand alone base or with ogbono for draw soup.

assinozick042:
op look at this one again, this person is also from ezike oba

Kobojunkie:
Oh sweet... so, how do the leaves taste?

OdefaGirl:

......

Kobojunkie:
I mean what bitter, sweet, sour to taste.. how would you describe it for someone who has never eaten soup made with it?
