🔍 When is it ripe?
Green skin turns slightly yellow and gives like a ripe avocado. Custard-like, mango-banana scented flesh inside. Falls at the slightest touch. Very short shelf life — refrigerate and eat within days. Found throughout eastern North America.
Delicious wild fruit, tastes like a creamy, mild mango! For viewing only. The Forest Preserve District of Cook County, which owns Chicago Botantic Garden's land, prohibits foraging. Stiff fines.
