Santhol

Santol fruits are round to ovate, averaging 4 to 7 centimeters in diameter. The skin is leathery, somewhat fuzzy, and wrinkled, ripening from green to golden yellow, and is sometimes covered in a red blush. Santol fruits also have a translucent to white pulp that encases 3 to 5 inedible seeds. The pulp has a cotton-like consistency and is juicy and soft. Santol fruits range in flavor from sour to very sweet, depending on maturity and variety. The fruit grows on a fast-growing tree that may reach 150 feet in height. It bears ribbed leaves and pink or yellow-green flowers about 1 centimeter long.
