The Tahitian apple is also known as the Otaheite apple (hence its alternative binomial, Spondias cytherea) or just Golden apple is an equatorial or tropical tree, with edible fruit containing a fibrous pit.

The fruit may be eaten raw; the flesh is crunchy and a little sour. In Indonesia and Malaysia, it is eaten with a thick black salty-sweet sauce called hayko. It occurs as an ingredient in rojak. It may also be juiced.
