This is how it looks like after you've peeled the back. It is very popular as an ingredient in making tea here in Maiduguri.

Goruba Tea is the bomb.

I ate this thing as a kid in Kaduna.... You eat the flesh but can't eat the big seed in it ..... this fleshy part covers the big round seed in it ....
I was filled with nostalgia when I saw it in Keffi this year, has to rush it just to think of old times

Omo, your teeth must be strong to bite some of the goruba because it's strong....

It's mostly common in the Northern part of the country

Reminds me of ST Anne's primary school Kaduna. We used the hard shell inside Yoruba for balcony soccer.

I saw these on a Nigerian food blogger's page, and it caught my attention. I had never seen them before.
She called them goruba, so I got curious, and had to go check it out on Google.

Have you ever seen/eaten these?
If you have, what do you call them in your local dialect?
