  • RahulRaRa I love chikoo!
  • etsummer This is so great. I've never heard of chickoo; makes me think about what other, similar fruits and veggies are out there that would benefit from this kind of thing.
  • garv @etsummer Chickoo also grows / originated from Mexico. Haven't tried the cider yet , but it sure makes a wholesome milkshake. I've seen it in Florida , when I was there...
