  • If They Do These 6 Things When Eating Agbalumo, Hide From Them

    If They Do These 6 Things When Eating Agbalumo, Hide From Them

    Agbalumo season is here again, and that means we need to address some agbalumo-eating etiquette concerns. So that if you see someone eating it in any of these six ways and you call an angry mob to beat them, you’ll be well within your rights.

    These are the six unacceptable things to do while eating agbalumo.

    1. Slicing it open with a knife.

    No long story, here. Just call the police. That person is a terror to society.

    2. Squeezing their face while eating it.

    Anybody that squeezes their face while eating agbalumo is weak, and must be exposed at once. Ordinary small fruit, you are squeezing your face? Shior.

    3. If they start eating it from the bottom, they’re cultists.

    The only right way to eat agbalumo is by biting it open from the pointy top. If you see someone opening it any other way, they’re a menace and must be treated as such.

    4. If they don’t roll it on the wall and sing.

    Some people want to take away our customs and traditions and we must stop them before they do. If you don’t sing before you open an agbalumo, how will it be sweet?

    5. If they don’t turn it to chewing gum, fight them.

    Simple as A-B-C. The lifecycle of an abgalumo starts as fruit and ends as chewing gum. There’s no other way.

    6. Sucking  only the seeds.

    What happened to the other parts of the fruit? Ehn? 


    QUIZ: What Kind Of Fruit Are You?

  • 5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Agbalumo

    5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Agbalumo

    There aren’t many people who didn’t grow up sucking vigorously on pieces of agbalumo while contorting their faces because of the sickeningly sweet juice that comes from it. Yes. agbalumo is a really popular fruit in Nigeria. But there are some things we bet you don’t know about it.

    Things like:

    1) Did you know that the English name of agbalumo is “African Star Apple?”

    It’s also known as the White Star Apple. In Igbo, it’s called “Udara,” “Agbalumo” in Yoruba, and “Agwaluma” in the Northern parts of Nigeria.

    2) It’s of the species “Chrysophyllum Albidum.”

    It’s the same species with the Purple Star Apple. That one looks a lot like agbalumo but, as the name implies, is purple instead of brown.

    3) You won’t believe the many health benefits of this small fruit.

    Agbalumos are rich in vitamin c and help with weight loss. They are also used to treat sore throats and reduce the inflammation associated with pneumonia and laryngitis.

    4) The origin of its English name isn’t as random as you think.

    We know. African Star Apple is kind of a weird name. But here’s the low down: Agbalumos contain 4 – 6 seeds which are set in such a way that when the fruit is cut in half, the seeds are arranged in a star formation.

    5) They’re not available all year round.

    They grow mainly in Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, and Republic of Benin and occurs seasonally between the months of December and April.

    Pssssssst! What if we told you of a way you could enjoy that sweet agbalumo goodness all year round? We knew you’d be interested. Ladies & gents, we present to you: Dala Liqueur.

    Dala Liqueur is the first commercial alcoholic drink made from the juice of the freshest agbalumos. Whether by itself or mixed up with other drinks to make cocktails, Dala Liqueur always delivers its trademark blend of sweet and sour, creating a liqueur unlike anything you’ve ever tasted before

    Give Dala Liqueur a try. You won’t regret it.
