I think. But bragging right iz fun.
I don't see where the seeds are. Anybody know what the seed is? Those tiny black dots? Or? I haven't as you see,peeled it. Thought I would post and wait if somebody has a fast answer.
Smells lightly of Banana-Pineapple.

variegated monstera on eBay
Comments (10)You obviously need to know what you are buying, but some items are only available on places like ebay....when is the last time you have seen a D. croatii for sale comercially?? I can not afford $100 for it, but for those who can it may be the only chance they will ever have to own it. A couple of years ago I offered the odd little aroid, Ariopsis peltata on ebay....at the time it was not available anywhere else in the world outside of India....$7 seemed high, but I sold a few.....not sure that was a bargain or not, but the buyer has to decide what the plant is worth to them I suppose...some people have the luxury of having more money to play with...wish I had that luxury :o) Dan...See MoreKaffir Lime fruit?

Comments (8)I have a Monstera Borsigiana which looks very similar to the Deliciosa. The leaves are smaller and the fruit may be smaller too but otherwise look identical. I wonder if it's fruit are edible? I take it that the fruit is ready to pick when the tiles start to fall off the core. It then ripens on the kitchen counter in how many days? Are all the tiles ready to eat at the same time? Nelson...See Moremonstera deliciosa
Comments (12)Yes, they all fruit. Be very careful eating it though: Fruit The fruit of Monstera deliciosa is up to 25 cm long and 3–4 cm diameter, looking like a green ear of maize covered with hexagonal scales. Fruits of plants of the Araceae (Arum family) often contain Raphides and Trichosclereids – needle-like structures of calcium oxalate. The fruit may be ripened by cutting it when the first scales begin to lift up and it begins to exude a pungent odor. It is wrapped in a paper bag and set aside until the scales begin popping off. The scales are then brushed off or fall away to reveal the edible flesh underneath. The flesh, which is similar to pineapple in texture, can be cut away from the core and eaten. It has a fruity taste similar to jackfruit and pineapple. The unripe green fruits can irritate the throat and the latex of the leaves and vines can create rashes in the skin, because both contain potassium oxalate: that is the reason why the fruits have to be consumed when the scales lift up.[9] The black irritant fibres can be swept off with the application of a little citrus juice....See More
