Akee (Blighia sapida) is a tropical tree native to West Africa, now widely cultivated in the Caribbean. It produces pear-shaped fruits that are a culinary staple, especially in Jamaican cuisine. When ripe, the fruit's red skin splits open to reveal creamy, yellow arils and glossy black seeds. Akee must be fully ripe before consumption to avoid toxicity. Its mild, nutty flavour pairs well with saltfish and other savoury dishes.
