Description:
Description: English: Ripe fruit of the tree Saba senegalensis, showing as sold in the markets in season (April) with an opened ripe fruit to display the ripe yellow fruit pulp, loosened to show the distinctive sections of the fruit pulp. One section contains one seed. The opened fruit shown, an average size (about 9.5 cm in diameter, 10.5 height), had 35 sections, for 35 seeds (about 2cm in length). A very tart fruit pulp, typically boiled without extracting the seeds, with sugar before eating, seeds discarded. Called 'madd' in Senegal (sometimes spelled 'mad' and names vary between languages). A somewhat tough, yet flexible skin, about.8 cm in thickness. The green-skinned fruit is not ripe, the yellow-skinned indicates ripe. Date: 1 May 2015. Source: Own work. Author: T.K. Naliaka.
