While it produces some fruit throughout the year, it is mainly harvested in January. As the fruit does not soften when ripe, it is harvested when the fruit begins to drop.

Although it tastes sour and tart when eaten fresh, the fruit can be used to make wonderful dishes such as sour soup. It is candied as well, usually stored in jars with syrup. Liberally sugared, it is also used to make fruit juice, which can be served with ice in hot summer.

The plant is also used medicinally. The peppered leaves are used to make a poultice to treat sciatica, lumbago and rheumatism (but have been observed to cause low blood pressure when combined with nitrates), while the seeds are used as a cathartic and the root, if prepared with care, as a purgative.
