🍇 Today's Fruit
Ackee
Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica, known for its unique buttery flavor and creamy texture when cooked. What does ackee taste like? It has a mild, nutty, buttery taste similar to scrambled eggs with a subtle sweetness — making it the perfect pairing for savory saltfish. Ackee and saltfish is Jamaica's beloved national dish. Is ackee poisonous? Only unripe ackee contains hypoglycin, a toxin. Fully ripe ackee that has opened naturally on the tree is completely safe to eat when properly prepared. Ackee fruit from Jamaica is a symbol of island culture and heritage.
