''Spondias mombin'' or ''Spondias purpurea'' var. ''lutea'', is a tree, a species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae. It is native to the tropical Americas, including the West Indies. The tree has been naturalized in parts of Africa, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. It is rarely cultivated. The mature fruit has a leathery skin and a thin layer of pulp. The seed has an oil content of 31.5%. ==Use as food== The fruit pulp is either eaten fresh or made into juice, concentrate, jellies, and sherbets. In Thailand this fruit is called ''makok'' ((タイ語:มะกอก)) and is used in ''som tam'' as a secondary ingredient. The young leaves, which taste slightly bitter and sour, are sometimes served raw together with certain types of ''nam phrik'' (Thai chilli pastes). As a member of the Sumac family (Anacardiaceae), exposure to the sap of this species may result in an identical allergic reaction to that of the poison ivy plant. Those with a known sensitivity to urushiol should exercise caution in consuming or handling this species. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spondias mombin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
