Your photos are beautiful! I’ve heard this is a bad-tasting ornamental fruit.
I just bought one and am going to have every one in the house take a nasty bite.
You made art out of this horny one.
wow finally found out the name of this fruit…. wasnt even sure it it was a fruit or veggie. not a veggie fan myself but i found this odd thing to be not bad.
oh, so thats how you cut it, that would make it easier to eat. I didn´t quite like it.. tastes like less veggie tasting tomato (even if that is too a fruit). I read it has some good properties, so not toxic..
I met someone from an area in Mexico where it is supposed to grow, and the person had no clue of what it was, so who eats this??…
It´s still cool looking fruit, so it definitely gets points for that.

I heard that the fruit was toxic to mammals… is that true?

Well, being a mammal that has eaten this fruit, I would say no, it is not toxic.

I dont think so .. perhaps you are thinking of the star fruit? It is toxic to people who have kidney disease.
