Cooking sweet Pumalaca.

The pumalaca also known by the name of pomalaca and water apple is a rich fruit with a white, fluffy, juicy and fresh pulp on the palate. It has a slightly citric flavor on the shell and sweet inside, its exterior is shaped like a small Pear. It is also a rich source of vitamins A, B3 and C, minerals (calcium and iron) and beta-carotenes.
