African King Turkey Berry is a small, round fruit with a glossy, deep purple to black exterior. Inside, it contains numerous tiny seeds and a soft, greenish-white pulp. The flavor of turkey berries is slightly bitter and tangy, reminiscent of a combination of eggplant and tomato.
Taste and Culinary Uses: Despite its bitter taste, turkey berries are prized for their culinary versatility. They are often used as a flavoring agent in soups, stews, sauces, and traditional dishes across Africa. In Ghana, for example, they are a key ingredient in the popular soup known as “nkatenkwan” or groundnut soup, adding depth and complexity to the dish.
