This is the humble buah kelo, also known as munggai up north. A lot of people may recognise this as a yummy addition to curries and dhals. What a lot of people don’t know is that this particular vegetable (arguably a fruit) should never ever be eaten overripe because then it tastes just awful – it’s tough and bitter when it really should be soft and sweet. So don’t get excited if you dip into a bowl and ladle up a big fat chunk of this. More often than not, the larger the kelo, the older it actually is. Best harvest while still young – even if they’re unripe you can still keep them until they are ready to be eaten. But wait too long and you will regret it.
Did you know that? Well then... You’ve just been Don’tknow-ed!!
