Besides sweetness, the mobola has the flavor of strawberries, with a touch of nauseousness.

We carried some of them, dried as provisions, more than a hundred miles from this spot.
The next fruit, named mamosho (mother of morning), is the most delicious of all.

It is about the size of a walnut, and, unlike most of the other uncultivated fruits, has a seed no larger than that of a date.

The fleshy part is juicy, and somewhat like the cashew-apple, with a pleasant acidity added.

Fruits similar to those which are here found on trees are found on the plains of the Kalahari, growing on mere herbaceous plants.
