I came across this fruit sometimes ago in a very remote area and realy enjoyed it. Please where can I find it in the cities, what is it called in English? It is locally called 'isin ' in the village I ate it.

The fruit is popularly known as ''Isin'' . It can be found in the western part of Nigeria., especially in Ogbomosho. The fruit is not sweet and has a black solid seed. If you peel the black seed, you will definitely find a soft white substance there which can be used for dice. But I don't knw its english name.

This is what we call ''Isin''....I don't know how it tastes sweet on some people's tongue....the first time I tasted it....I almost formitted......well one man food is another man poison...

Ask typical south western. They know it

the name of the fruit is ACKEE

I have not been able to come across it in the cities either, but I believe you will SURELY get it at IKARE-AKOKO (Ondo State). Good luck.

Maybe you ate the bad one.

Now I know where the phrase "O dudu bi koro inu isin" was coined from.

Akiika.

You will find it almost all communities in Ondo state. I hate that tasteless thing die.
