The Morelle de Balbis is an unusual fruit-vegetable !
1 m high, covered with spines, it produces light blue flowers from which clusters of fruit are born, wrapped in a spiny shell, like that of the chestnut . The sweet and tangy fruit tastes like lychee .
You have to wait until the shell opens completely to collect the fruit, which can be eaten "plain" , cooked or made into jam.
