Fruit from Moquilea tomentosa

I can barely finish a couple of these and I already feel satiated. At least for me, this is not the kind of fruit that I can eat a pound in the blink of an eye

I have never seen anything like this in my country. Does it taste like mango?

I honestly don't know how to describe it, it seems to have quite a unique taste. It's creamy, but drier and firmer than mango. I would also say it's less sweet than most mangoes. It has a really soft flavor, that to me at least, is completely different from mango, more like a floral flavor to it

Sounds similar to how I might describe a pawpaw fruit (Asimina triloba.)

Too bad I haven't try this one either. The world is full of delicious variety!
