Description: One ripe fruit from the Saba senegalensis tree with the interior fruit pulp shown in two halves extracted from the thick skin of the fruit. One half intact, the other half separated to show the many sections that each contain one seed. The skin of the fruit is thick and quite flexible, about .8 cm thick, with a bit of stickiness where cut. For scale: the fruit shown, somewhat average in size, was 9.5 cm in diameter, height about 10 cm. Very, very tart fruit, usually boiled first without extracting the seeds, with added sugar before eating. Called 'madd' in Senegal (also spelled as 'mad' - names vary between languages). This one fruit contained 35 sections for a total of 35 seeds (approx 2 cm each in size).
