Please sign and share our petition and speak out against these barbaric markets.

Fruit has thin tough skin, spongey/crisp flesh (like a lillypilly), lots of seeds, no distinctive smell (just vegetative).

No idea of taste, since I’m not eating random red fruit found on a bush that given the spikes, is clearly designed not to be eaten.
