Looks like bell apple aka local apple

It is a type of apple.
We had the tree in our backyard when we were kids.
It comes in two different colours.
This red colour and light green colour like real apple

Decades ago when I was in elementary school used to see pupils plucking them from trees on my way back from school.

I think those kids used to call them ampus

So I assumed in my young mind it was actually our local version of apples since the actual ones don't grow in this part of the world

I don't know the name though
But anyway I can only say..
The creator of this fruit is great
Just as the same creator of all things which I believe it's God, is great

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

That's an apple

Forbidden fruit.


I fear for you oo

Major7:
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

You claim to know it, but you don't. This is our local apple, and not cashew.

Very sweet local apples

My grandmums.had a tree in her back garden. My favourite fruit then with Udara

Come one, Local Champion. This is not cashew nau. The one you used to buy in a bottle as cashew nut, does it come from this fruits? The core (pith) of this fruit is not even edible. This fruit is BELL APPLE. Or just Local Apple. It has never been a relative of Cashew all its life!

This fruit is found in almost all the primary schools in my locality, I think, cos it's good for a child's brain development and also boots immune system. We used to eat even the tender leaves in those years. It's full of Vitamin C. The core (seed is 100% useless like like the P in APC.

This is Nigerian local apple na.
I have one in my compound, I eat it almost every day, it's natural and bland but juicy.
Very common stuff

Nobody send that fruit, even when they were nobody takes it.

You just went out and bought a fruit you didn't even know, what if you were allergic to it.? I can't understand some people.

Before Tinubu, they were free.

yes until Tinubu poison the innocent fruit 😏hypocrite 😌

A lot of people eat cashew nuts but do not know the fruit.
Hope you didn’t stand straight while eating it?

Very tasteless something. My sister has it in her compound. Looks beautiful from the outside but has a sour like taste. It tastes nothing like watermelon as someone pointed out earlier.

🤣 couldn't recognize what it was also.
Cashew looking like foreign fruits.
Although it is still free in Kogi, Edo, but don't leave with the nuts

You are a w!cke∆ person, so you can actually exchange goods for #50? Even if you were offered that, you could have paid more at least #200. It was sold that way, because that is not a serious fruit, it only attracts children, who plucks it with reckless abandon, that boy only needs money for biscuits and decided to exchange that, and yet you paid, with what can not afford pepper.

It is called wax apple

It's a kind of apple not the regular ones. Grows every where

I think you're right to call it cashew cos the native/ bell apple I know is different from the op's picture

Now I know why some say it's cashew cos yours looks like cashew without the nut. See wetin I think say you dey talk about from your first post.
The pic below is the actual bell apple I know but your own picture is actually cashew or something else

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?

Figue, grown in north African countries. Please, correct me if I am wrong. By the way, please make friends with "google".

Kai APC!

This is not cashew sir. We have this in our compound. I think it's called bell apple.
And in case you are doubting me, quote me and I will snap the tree and show you.

This one na cashew fruit na. It perish very fast so when it's the season where its available, they will want to sell it very fast. If you dey where the plantation dey very well na free sef. It's the nuts that's durable, more value and expensive.

To obidients, thats a lie......it should be nothing less than 1k because tinubu has finished us with hunger.

Lazy youth. Your ₦100 data will soon finish oo.

It is not cashew. First a cashew fruit seller can never remove the nuts before selling. I have never seen such thing in my entire life. Secondly, removing a cashew nut puts a hollow on the cashew fruit from where the nut was removed.

This is not cashew fruit. What part of the country did this transaction take place?
