In the forest I managed to find a very unique fruit and it looks very refreshing, this is a fruit from a vine that I also rarely find. At first glance this fruit looks very similar to the kersen fruit or village cherries, but this is clearly different and I don't know whether this fruit is poisonous or not, at that time I had time to pick one fruit but I didn't dare to squeeze it because there are some wild fruits that can cause itching and swelling, this fruit also doesn't have a strong smell but this fruit smells a little sweet.

Its uniqueness can be seen when this fruit is still young, and I will compare it starting from the young fruit with the old fruit, when it is still young this fruit has a smaller size with a dark green color.

alt

When it is half ripe, this fruit will change color to yellow, its size still looks the same as the young fruit.

alt

When it is old or ripe, this fruit will change color to bright red, and its size will be slightly larger. I am very curious about this fruit, can this fruit be eaten or not?
