Fruit, spice, vine, grows along a vine, like a pumpkin. Fruits are slightly larger than human fists and have tough outer coverings that are deep, bruised red. The fruit inside is pink and tastes like bananas. They have a hard pit which is ground up into a spice that tastes like curry. A popular and delicious fruit that grows better in warm, humid climates. Eating too much of the fruit or the spice creates a simultaneous diuretic and laxative effect.
