Ciruela ( Hog Plum)

Ciruela ( Hog Plum)

This fruit comes from the tree Spondias purpurea, which is a family member of the cashew. This fruit can be eaten raw and even unripe! When unripe, you can add some salt and chili pepper to create an amazing flavor, as without the salt or chili it can have a very bitter taste. Ripe fruit can be eaten as is, as it will have a soft texture and can be sweet. If you’d like to learn more about this fruit, click the link below! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondias_purpurea
