Discover the unique and delicious Nepali Hog Plum, also known as Choerospondias axillaris or Lapsi. This deciduous tree is native to much of Asia and produces small, yellow-green fruits with a soft, sour flesh that is perfect for making pickles, fruit tarts, and even sour, spicy candy. The tree has been cultivated for centuries in rural Nepal for its nutritious fruit, which is comparable in price to mandarin oranges on the Nepalese market. Besides its delicious fruit, the tree also yields valuable wood and has medicinal properties. Try this exotic fruit for yourself and enjoy its sweet and tangy flavor!
