Dégustation de ma première asimine [...] La couleur de la peau présente des nuances allant du vert au jaune, avec quelques taches marron. [...] Chair de la couleur de la mangue, texture fondante, goût rappelant à la fois celui de la banane et de l'ananas, arôme toutefois moins perceptible en bouche qu'à l'odorat. Les graines assez grosses, aplaties, de couleur marron soutenu et lustrées n'altèrent pas de façon significative le plaisir de déguster le fruit. Certains cultivars présentent moins de graines. 3, record 5, French, - asimine
