Ackee Jamaica’s Tasty but Dangerous Fruit 🍑

[Ailara03]

Ackee, Jamaica’s national fruit, is both intriguing and risky. It must be fully ripe and properly prepared, as unripe ackee contains toxins that can cause severe illness. When prepared correctly, it becomes a savory delight often featured in dishes like ackee and saltfish. With a texture similar to scrambled eggs, ackee offers a unique culinary experience. Always ensure it’s properly cooked to enjoy safely.

Ackee seems like such a unique fruit! I'm curious about how the people ensure they're using only ripe ackee and not the unripe ones.
