Edible Wood

Q: What do you get when you cross a cherimoya/ashta fruit with shredded wood shavings?

A: Salleh.


Never seen or tasted anything like this before. The shell feels like velvety wood and you crack it open. The inside really looks like wood shavings.


You break off a piece like you do with ashta and each piece has a seed. So you suck on it as it melts in your mouth and then you spit the seed out. It's difficult to describe the taste, but it's a bit sour. I think.
