Scientific Classification[edit]

Isn't the "Sapotaceae" family under the Ericales order, not Rosales? (Rosales is the order for true apples.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6C0:4201:EABE:60F1:25CD:EE53:FFD0 (talk) 14:50, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edibility?[edit]

"The skin is rich in latex, and both it and the rind are not edible." - does this mean toxicity or simply too gooey to eat? If toxic at all, how toxic is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.234.110.47 (talk) 05:38, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Milkfruit?[edit]

Apparently it may also be called "milkfruit" in Vietnamese. Can this be verified and added to the article? Badagnani 23:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC) 24.4.31.26 18:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is also grown in the Hawaiian Islands and has become quite popular there. I have seen the fruits served in some of Hawaiis better hotels also. It is at almost all of the Hawaii's farmer markets as a localy grown fruit and the locals also make an exceptional preserve from it.

No in fact it is called Vu Sua : In Vietnam this fruit grows prolifically and is called Vu Sua (BREAST-MILK in exact translation).some westerners do call it Milk Fruit out of sensitivity I guess.--Robbygay (talk) 07:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Color[edit]

This article states that the fruit's rind is purple, but I just bought some ripe ones that were green in color. Badagnani (talk) 00:39, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
