The color of the skin of less mature fruits are green.

 

The bright red colored flesh is dotted with black seeds.The flesh is sweet and delicious. It is rich in fiber, antioxidents such as flavonoids, phenolic acid, and betacyanin, lowers blood sugar, contains prebiotics that encourages the growth of the probiotics lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and other helpful bacteria that kill disease-causing viruses and bacteria and also help digest food. It is high vitamin C and other minerals such as iron.

 

The Total Soluble Sugar or sugar content measured by the Brix Value can vary between 18-26% dependent on the degree of maturity before picking, generally 70-100%, and by some even at 40% maturity when the skin is green and the fruits are smaller in size.

The flower end pit is no deeper than one centimetre and not swollen, and bracts are not damaged or discoloured. The peduncle (stem), if present, will not exceed 2.5 cm and without thorns.

 

The maturity level of the fruits we ship are between 80%-90%, unless customers require a different maturity. Fruits that are higher in level of maturity at harvesting are sweeter but however less suitable for transportation over long distances due to its softer peel, which is less resistant to mechanical pressure and have a lesser shelf life, reaching physiological maturity faster than fruits that are less mature. Fruits that are less than 100% mature at harvesting will have some streaks of green in their peel. The green streaks in the peel will turn to pink and a little yellowish in color as the fruits reach physiological maturity.
