Ambarella

Ambarella, (latin Spondias dulcis, or its alternative binomial, Spondias cytherea), is an equatorial or tropical tree, with edible fruit containing a fibrous pit. Introduced from the Pacific by Captain Bligh, the pear-shaped fruit ranges from pink to ruby red in color. This fruit is usually eaten fresh, though it can be packed in red wine or turned into a refreshing cold drink. The flesh is crunchy and a little sour.
