 It is known as a Malay rose apple, or simply Malay apple, mountain apple, rose apple, Otaheite apple, pink satin-ash and pommerac (derived from "pomme Malac", meaning "Malayan apple" in French).Despite the fact that it is sometimes called the otaheite cashew, it is not related to cashew.While cashew nuts (but not cashew fruits) may trigger allergic reactions, rose apple fruit has not been observed to do so.
