Ximenia fruit (Ximenia americana)

Ximenia fruit is the small, fleshy fruit of a tree commonly known by that name. The fruit is usually oval, with a thin skin that can range from yellowish to reddish as it ripens and a hard central stone. Its pulp is tart to sour, though ripeness and local variety affect flavour and texture.

The ripe fruit may be eaten fresh or used in local food preparations, and fruit may also be processed into preserves or drinks. The stone is not the same edible portion as the pulp. Because the fruit is less widely traded than common orchard fruit, forms and culinary uses vary by region.
