Akee fruit, Ackee

What is number one tree-grown vegetable? Akee is a curious Jamaican fruit that is actually a vegetable growing on a tree! The fruit makes a delicious nutritious meal tasting like eggs and potatoes
  • 🔺This showy fruit is a close relative of Lychee, Longan, and Rambutan.
  • 🔺 Akee tree is easy to grow, undemanding, fast growing, and fruits right away. Sometimes it fruits twice a year!
  • 🔺 Akee fruit must be picked after the fruit has opened naturally so the flesh is fully exposed to light.
  • 🔺 The white arils are best parboiled for a few min and then lightly fried in butter. Then they are really delicious!
