Tree wasn’t tagged by the city, so I didn’t know what it was, but I saw someone grabbing a couple of them to eat a few days earlier, so I gave it a try

I can confirm there is a lot of latex on the skin

From reverse image search, it looks like a Pouteria caimito. I’d say it has a really subtle sweet flavor and texture of a jello

I’m using a spoon to eat them now to try to avoid all the latex, but if anyone has any other tips, they are always welcome

    Please do not eat what you don’t know for sure and extra sure what it is and how it is eaten.
    Although I’m very curious of these fruit that don’t seems close to anything growing in my country, I advise you to be more careful.

    I know a fruit tree from where I am which is eatable but the seeds highly toxic. By eating it because I saw someone else do it, I could swallow enough seeds to kill myself.

      That’s a very good advice. I had actually asked the dude and he said to eat the white flesh, I guess he didn’t expect my dumbass to try to bite the skin too lol
