Edible Uses

Fruit - raw or cooked. The bright red fruit can range in flavour from sweet to somewhat acid. As well as being eaten out of hand, they can also be stewed, made into juices, sauces, jellies, jams, wines or purees. The fruits are very rich in vitamin C (1 - 4 g per 100 g juice). They are widely used in the preparation of vitamin tablets and other nutritional supplements. The juice is added to other juices in order to improve their nutritional value. Plants can produce 2 - 3 crops of fruit a year.
