Usage
'FHIA-21' fruit is usually consumed green; it is boiled or processed into chips[1]. When ripe, it is fried or baked. When over-ripe, it is used for making marmalade and liqueurs. Its acceptance for specialty recipes and by the chips processing industry has been favorable based on its texture, color, taste and the fact that it absorbs less oil and remains crisp longer at ambient conditions.
Being 30-40% cheaper, FHIA-21 is primarily bought by poorer consumers.
