Yes, as I went to my normal joint to buy fruits I couldn't get it because it raining since morning and this evening she didn't come out. So on my way back I angrily took another road as I was going I sighted this boy with tray on head. I reluctantly called him and asked the price, he said #50 naira. I was shocked because fruits here are very expensive, and I was expecting him to say #200 naira at least. But my greatest shock was when he packed 8 and put it for me, I this one you packed all I don't have money for it o. He said only #50 naira I don't have? He laughed and added two more. Like 8 pieces of fruit for #50 naira? I couldn't believe it, I had to give me 200 because it's ridiculously cheap. It looks like apple but they said it's not. What's the name? What's the nutritional benefits? Is it better than apple? Have you seen it? |

escortafrik:It's cashew now,the seed that happens to be the nut has been removed |

lovediehatelive:Which part of the country did you grow up and how old are you if I must ask I mean no disrespect but I'm surprised you don't know cashew when you see one,the seed has been removed for sales and they're more costly than the cashew fruit itself |

Lithiumite:Commo man!! Why hiijaccing the topic? Stick to topic, what's the name? What's the benefits and nutritional value? |

safarifarms:Seriously? Does apple grow in Nigeria? Because it seems like what will spoil very soon, but the apple I usually buy can stay days without blemish |
| Re: I Bought This Fruit #50 Naira For 10 Pieces, What's The Name? (photos) by lovediehatelive(op): 9:32pm On Jul 31 |
escortafrik:Same here o Some are saying apple but does apple grow in Nigeria |
| Re: I Bought This Fruit #50 Naira For 10 Pieces, What's The Name? (photos) by lovediehatelive(op): 9:33pm On Jul 31 |
Major7:No, it's not cashew. The flesh is so soft and water like cucumber. |
| Re: I Bought This Fruit #50 Naira For 10 Pieces, What's The Name? (photos) by lovediehatelive(op): 9:36pm On Jul 31 |
Major7:Lol, cashew water stains clothes. And the flesh are kind of tough and sticky. But this is different. Does cashew have hollow hole in the middle? This one has, with a "pit" like seed like avocado in it but smaller |

Caaz:I don't even remember the last time I saw the fruit itself. We should plant some of these fruits trees before they totally go extinct. |

Major7:You are asking him , how old are you bla bla bla… That’s not cashew. It’s a local Malay apple. You can google it. |

Tasteless rubbish. I bought six for 1K. I’m surprised someone can find it so cheap. Apples are what they were called. I bought them out of curiosity. Never again. |

lovediehatelive:Bell apple is very different from the foreign apple you are used to. Foreign apple does grow in some parts of Nigeria especially Jos and Kaduna. It struggles or dies in a few other places and there are places that it won't just survive. I just planted the seedling I ordered from Jo's recently. If it survives, it won't do well as it does in Jos (in terms of fruiting). They love cold for fruiting. And by the way, imported foreign apples you buy are doused in serious preservatives, that's why they last so long.

Lithiumite:Shattapu! Both you and Op doesn't even know the fruit or seen it in real life. 50 naira for 10pieces in ogbomosho or ikirun or the remotest part of Kwara? Nonsense and the AI in Aso rock. |
| Re: I Bought This Fruit #50 Naira For 10 Pieces, What's The Name? (photos) by BeardedMeat(m): 7:09am On Aug 01 |
Major7:Those are not cashew fruits. They are a kind of apple specie with plenty water content. They are cheap but nowhere is it sold for 50 naira for 10pieces not even in the remote villages and not even if everyone has the tree in their compound. One can sell for 50 naira, not a whooping 10pieces. |

meobizy:They are good. Some can be sweeter than others. Just like watermelon, you never know. |

Major7:It's not cashew. It tastes like watermelon. I have the tree in my compound. I call it local apple 🤗 |
