About Black monkey orange (Strychnos madagascariensis)

Black monkey orange is the fruit identified by the catalogue as Strychnos madagascariensis. The binomial specifies the botanical food, while the name does not say whether the fruit is fresh, dried, cooked, or processed into another form.

The fruit is encountered as a wild food in some food contexts and may be eaten or used in preparations, but the record gives no local preparation or edible-part detail. Its appearance and flavour can vary with ripeness and handling, and the name alone does not support a more specific description of the pulp, seed, or processing. Avoid treating the entire fruit and any prepared product as equivalent.
