This is particularly funny to me. You don't have to spit anything out, you only have to take out the small seed inside (only one seed) and you're good to go.

The easiest way to extract one's tooth is to try eating the seed. cool

Oh my gosh, udara be giving me flashbacks to school....

Re: Top 4 Popular Nigerian Fruits You Don’t Know The English Name For by gatoyi: 3:32am On Mar 18, 2016

What about ube? I think that's what it's called. Assuming that it's a fruit...you have to boil it before you can eat it, and it's usually eaten with corn...it's dark blue in color.

Frankly, the only reason I'm interested in the English name is to be able to google it. Otherwise, don't see why we need to know the English names per se. That's the colonial mentality talking. After all, you'd never hear English men asking what the "native" name of an apple is, now, would you?

Re: Top 4 Popular Nigerian Fruits You Don’t Know The English Name For by gatoyi: 3:38am On Mar 18, 2016

Success! I just had to type in ube fruit in google! Guess what it's English name was "African or bush pear" Oh look, African is synonymous with bush. Why is that not surprising? And some African idiots keep falling over themselves for the English!

Agbalumo is called African star fruit because of the way the seeds are arranged when you cut it open.

It's useful the fruit, the bark, the sap, the leaves. They even use it to make ointment for skin infections
