“…The dry matter content of A. digitata pulp was very high, on average 88.5%, while for the other fruits, it varied between 16.7% and 34.8%.

For V. infausta our results are somewhat higher than reported in fruits from Malawi [5], Botswana [8], and Tanzania [17]. For L. kirkii , the dry matter content was comparable with the literature data [1].…”

“…Farmers indicated that P. curatellifolia was more important in times of drought than U. kirkiana. P. curatellifolia is one of the most carbohydrate-rich indigenous fruits in the Miombo woodlands (Kalenga Saka and Msonthi 1994). Farmers explained that P. curatellifolia could be processed into porridge and a drink, as well as consumed directly (Kalaba et al 2009), although the fruit of U. kirkiana was preferred for its taste.…”
