Native to Central and South America, the Nance Fruit Tree (Byrsonima Crassifolia) can be found growing from the southern tip of Mexico across the Pacific side of Central America and into Peru and Brazil. Also known as Yellow Cherry, Golden Cherry, and Golden Spoon.
On huge shrubs, nance fruit grows in clusters. It matures from green to yellow-red in colour and contains an oily white pulp that encircles one to three tiny, inedible white seeds. It has a sweet, peculiar flavour that can be mildly cheese-like or distinctly banana, lychee, and pear-flavored. Vitamin C is abundant in nance fruits, which also include calcium and phosphorus as well as other minerals. Additionally a good source of fibre, fruits are.
Tannins and oxalic acid are present in unripe Nance fruit and bark, which can be consumed raw or cooked.
