Ackee
Ackee is a rare and quite strange looking fruit which is mainly found in the tropical regions of Western Africa. In fact, Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica. It’s brain-like shape is an attraction in itself. The inner part of Ackee has soft white to yellow flesh and contains black seeds.
In African countries, Ackee is usually eaten with vegetable dishes. However, it can also be consumed in raw form. It is devoid of cholesterols and other fatty acids. However, the seeds have poisonous hypoflycin. That’s why its importation has been banned in the US.
