I'm working on a project in a remote part of Ekiti state and in my leisure time, I usually take a walk into the forest.
I was walking around the forest today when this interesting fruit caught my attention. I was so fascinated by what I saw that I decided to pick one.
See pics below.


I'm thinking of a name for it already, cos the locals don't have a name for it

Name it, Recession fruit 2016

Name it red juice.

I ate some, and I've never tasted anything like that in my life. It's a mix of quava, strawberry and apple.

It's somewhere after Ado-Ekiti.

What's the skin texture like, is it leathery with hairlike strands on it.. It reminds me of kiwi fruit.Interesting..

So many things yet to be discovered and classified in this strange country of mine..

The texture, though rough looks edible to me. You need have a taste of this beautiful fruit trust me.
I'm thinking of marketing it to shoprite already, I need first have nutritionists analyse it.

The fruit looks like kiwi on the inside. Try to get it analysed at FIIRO (Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi) or IITA (International Institute for Tropical Agriculture) office.

All the best.

Take the seed home and plant.
