Related to the mango and cashews.

Has anyone eaten these fruits? Any good?

They are very tart.

Only tried the once despite the fact that there used to be many freely available near where I used to live.

I know someone who likes to make a jam out of them.

Apparently you have to bury them in sand for a couple of days to ripen them properly before eating them.
