About Turkey berry

Turkey berry is the small, round fruit of a tropical shrub, commonly used as a vegetable when unripe. The fruit is typically green and pea-sized, with a thin skin and numerous small seeds. Its taste can be bitter, and the texture softens with cooking.

It is used cooked in some regional cuisines, including in soups and stews, and may be sold fresh or dried. Ripeness and processing affect its appearance and flavour. The name here refers to the edible fruit, not to a prepared dish or a berry in the botanical sense.
