[Hashim]

I saw this fruit in market and bought as it was looking something delicious but when I just ate a slice of it..yikes  it was a little sweet at first then a hell bitter and there was a sticky feling like I swalloed adhesive. Will never eat this fuit in my life, wat a bad experience 

Can anyone tell the name of this fruit ? hope its not poisonous

Ops thrown it away after taking that pic, its pulp was just like that of apple buy slightly orange in colour.

out of curiosity how many seeds did it have?

[Hashim]

Yes, two seeds

It looks like a persimmon to me. I love those.

You have to wait 'til they ripen significantly more before you eat them... Or it feels like you're getting all the water absorbed out of your mouth. (because that's what happens. it's a protective mechanism for the plant)

Then again, some types are just not good to eat =D

Hey Hashim if you can look at where you through it out.........is there a beanstalk, if not it diesnt matter


Yeah looks like a persimmon to me to but slight bigger and more red

It's a little longer than the persimmons that I'm familiar with, but the flavor of unripened persimmon is what nails it for me.

Sit in your chair, open up Google, and look at the pictures.

 

EDIT: This is my 400th post...Not that that means anything...

Well, that's only possible if you know what to Google for, right?

Yes, I can't show pics to google to tell me its name 

In India fruits are sold by illiterate people (99.9%) so they also don't know whats the exact name of uncommon fruits like this one. No chance of finding the label as well.

If it was poisonous, they would most likely not sell it at market...

But they do want you to go back and buy more. So if you went back and told them that it tasted like $#!+, they'd probably recommend a better method of consumption They'd know how to eat the fruit, even if they don't know what it's called.

it seems 4miliar... maybe it's... alien!!

It may be  pomegranate, but it is too red and also it can be paradise apple but some kind of modified with more Red colour 

[Hashim]

No its not pomegranate , inportB guessed it right and its persimmon. I just read on Wiki about it and I am 100% sure that it was persimmon and nothing else.
BTW that hawker who was selling this fruit in the market was no where to be seen after selling that as many people were buying it at that time (as it was something new here so everyone was buying).

er i hope you realize now that this fruit in particular is not eaten until it has ripened.  Most people leave it in paper bags until it is so tender, it can break with slight pressure.
