In addition, vinegar and alcoholic drinks are made. Unripe fruit is not commonly eaten raw since it is very sour. Tartfruits that were brought to Azzia are often pickled.
Ripe fruits, though, are often eaten fresh. Since the ripe fruits spoil quickly, only unripe fruits are sold at markets. Ripe fruits can also be used in a variety of pies, puddings, cakes, etc. They can also be processed into purees and juices. 
The flowers are rarely used, but may be added to various desserts.
