Hello,

I need your help in identifying a fruit. These are its characteristics:

- It is found in Southern Nigeria;

- It's ovoid in shape - about 10mm by 8mm by 5mm;

- It has an outer thin shell which is very dark brown and somewhat velvety;

- When this shell is broken, it reveals a dry interior which has a seed
covered with a light-orange 'dusty' layer;

- When the seed is sucked, the light-orange layer dissloves away, revealing
a sweet and slightly sour taste and explosing the seed beneath (this is
light brown;

- The fruit usually occurs in bunches.

Thanks in advance,

Akin
