The aidan fruit, also called aridan, uyayak, kyoho, or prekese is the product of Tetrapleura tetraptera. It is native to West Africa, where it is used as a flavoring.[1]
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
The fruit's pod is dark and has four wings or ridges. Two of these wings are woody and inedible, and two are filled with an aromatic pulp described as toffee-like in flavor.[1][2] The seeds inside the pod are not typically eaten.[1]
Use[edit | edit source]
The aromatic pulp of the dried pod is used as a spice in cooking.[1][2]
