This fruit presents a long cylindrical size (30–60 cm long and 7–11 cm in diameter), with a weight rounding between 1.4 and 3.0 kg [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Its fruit pulp of yellow-orange color is appreciated in not only the immature stage, cooked to accompany meals, but also in a fully ripe mature stage, consumed in-natura form or used in the preparation of jams and juices [ 5 , 8 , 10 ].…”
