That’s achi, a pretty good Jamaican fruit. Great with fish but poisonous in some stages I believe? Best to look it up if you wanna cook it

Think it’s Ackee (Blighia sapida)

Ackee, poisonous when unripe. Safe to eat once the flesh around the seed has opened up. Part of Jamaica’s national dish saltfish and ackee.

It looks like Ackee, Jamaica’s national dish. It’s poisonous when the outer shell is closed . When it opens up and you can see the yellow flesh and the black seed then it’s ready to be processed . After it opens up pull out the black seed and the red strip that’s attached to it . You basically only want the yellow part.

Once the fruit is opened it’s fine to consume. Open, remove stones, clean and soak and add to dish of choice, cooks quickly and is a great textural component. Great with salt fish, onions, garlic, whole spice, scotch bonnet pepper, black pepper, fresh tomatoes and thyme.

Careful. All parts but the yellow inside cause Jamaican vomiting sickness.

Ackee, edible when it opens by itself on the tree. Never try to force or cut it open, that’s when its poisonous.

Kinda reminds me of jackfruit how the little yellow parts are
