About Prune de Cythère
Prune de Cythère is a French name used in parts of the Caribbean for the fruit known in English as ambarella or June plum. The fruit is oval, with smooth green skin that turns yellow as it ripens, and a crisp, juicy flesh surrounding a fibrous, spiny stone. Its taste is tart when firm and green, becoming milder and somewhat sweeter as it ripens.
The fruit is eaten fresh, often with seasonings, and is also used in drinks, preserves and cooked preparations. It may be sold green and firm or yellow and riper, which are notably different eating forms. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish fresh fruit from juice, sweetened preserves and cooked products, and account for the ripeness and edible portion used.
