@iheartfruitbox: Ackee is actually in the same family as Lychee and Longans, the Sapindaceae family, originating in West Africa. There are two more popular varieties, soft yellow “butter ackee” and a more form cream colored “cheese ackee”. It has a very high fat content with a somewhat nutty flavor. Although it is widely used in the Caribbean, mainly Jamaica, many people don’t know you can eat ackee Raw! It’s so good, especially with avocado and breadfruit 🤤 Let’s be clear it’s not poisonous if it’s not cooked, ackee can be very poisonous if consumed before it is ripe, which is when the pod opens. This is because of the presence of hypoglycins A and B, which have a potent hypoglycemic effect. This is why knowledge is powerful. There are a few restaurants on Jamaica that sell raw ackee dishes that are great!

Yes it can be eaten raw. As long as it is fully ripe and opens on its own, remove the red vein.
