Its an underutilized fruit in Nigeria and a friend through which I got the sample claimed it is highly nutritious and that it is called Africa Star Apple but I found out that the name is used for Cherry known as agbalumo in Nigeria. Also, I have taken a sample of the fruit to botany department in my institution but they seem not to know the fruit. Infact I can only get the fruit sample just from a source because its not common. I intend analysing the fruit to determine the nutrients composition. Please kindly help with any useful information.
