About Gac

Gac is a tropical fruit with a round to oval shape and a spiny orange-red outer skin when ripe. Inside, red pulp surrounds large seeds; the pulp and seed coverings are the parts most often used as food. Its vivid colour and mild, somewhat neutral flavour distinguish it from many sweet dessert fruits.

It is used in cooked foods and rice preparations, and its pulp may also be processed into juice or other products. Fresh fruit, separated pulp, and processed pulp are distinct forms, with differences in texture and flavour depending on preparation and ripeness.
