Tiessa
This fruit is heart-shaped with orang-yellow color and is said to one of the best sources of vitamin A. It is like boiled kamote (sweet potatos) in texture because of its fibrous, sticky and thick flesh.It is usually eaten ripe as dessert, or used in preparing sherbet, ice cream and juice.
There are only two known types of tiessa- one producing round fruit containing 2 to 3 seeds, and the other yielding elongated fruits having a single seed.
