Dear NatraList – The fruit in the photo is not edible. The name reflects the appearance that resembles a green apple. In fact – it is mostly hollow, and the plant contains a toxic milky sap. It is native to Israel, where this photo was taken. Israel is a major exporter of agricultural products to the EU, including UK. In fact, it is known as ‘Europe’s winter garden’.
