About Mammy apple

Mammy apple is a name used for the tropical fruit also called mammee apple. It has a thick, brown rind and yellow to orange flesh around a large seed; the flesh is aromatic and generally sweet when ripe, with texture that softens as it matures.

The fruit is eaten fresh and used in cooked or preserved preparations. Whole fruit and peeled flesh are different edible forms, and ripeness affects flavour and firmness. The name can be used interchangeably with mammee apple in common English usage, rather than identifying a clearly separate ingredient.
