[Raw Food] Episode 49 – Jenna in the Jungle – Rollinia (Raw Food)
Raw Food: Rollinia is a genus in the family Annonaceae. While it is widely recognised as a distinct genus a recent monograph advocates its inclusion in Annona[1], which also contains custard apples and soursops. Sometimes called biriba, species of Rollinia are tropical trees that bear round, yellow fruit. They need a warm and humid climate to grow well.
Not all fruits produced by this family are edible, but Rollinia deliciosa is. The flavor of the fruit is described as similar to that of apple custard or lemon meringue pie. Ripe fruit is very soft and easily bruised. The fruit cannot be stored for long periods of time. It is usually eaten fresh, but Brazilians use it to make wine.

Just a little info -> Rollinia is also called Biriba. The species is rollinia mucosa (synonymous with rollinia deliciosa). This delicious bugger is native to central American rainforests (amazon). They are a lower rainforest sandy muck-soil loving species; basically they grow in constantly damp soils (advisable for best fruiting). These fruits can get rather large, some weighing a few kilos even.
