Pulasan

Pulasan is an evergreen tree with a short trunk that’s native to western Malaysia and Singapore. The tree produced fruits that are ovoid, dark red to red or rarely yellow in color, with a thick leathery exterior that’s covered in short and soft spines.

The pulp is sweet and juicy with a single seed. The fruits are usually eaten fresh or used for preparing fruit jam. They‘re a great source of calcium, vitamin C, and carbohydrates. The seeds are edible when raw and their flavor is reminiscent of almonds.
