About Rose apple

Rose apple is a tropical fruit commonly identified by its bell-shaped form and pale yellow-green to pink skin. The crisp, juicy flesh is generally mild and lightly sweet, sometimes with a faint floral character; the central cavity may contain one or more seeds. The name is also applied to other fruits in different regions, so market identity can vary.

When identified as the bell-shaped fruit, it is usually eaten fresh after washing, with the seeds and any unwanted core removed. It may also be cooked into preserves or other preparations. Whole fresh fruit is the typical form; this name alone does not establish a particular cultivar or processed product.
