Ambazham/Ampazham Fruit Plant

When the fruit of Ambazahm got ripen, the skin and flesh turn golden-yellow. While the fruit is still firm, the flesh is crisp, juicy and subacid, and has a somewhat pineapple-like fragrance and flavour. It is common in Malayan gardens and fairly frequent in India and Ceylon. The fruit is harvested green for the Asian commercial market whilst Europeans prefer the ripe fruit harvested when yellow or when there is color change and allowed to ripen in a few days.
