Avoid feeding nance when possible. The large pit is a choking and obstruction hazard. If any taste is offered, use only a tiny amount of ripe plain pulp and discard pits immediately after handling.
Nance is a small tropical fruit (Byrsonima crassifolia) with yellow-orange skin, aromatic tart pulp, and one large pit, eaten fresh in Central and South America and used in drinks, desserts, and preserves.
Usually consumed by biting the pulp around the seed rather than slicing. Preserved versions in syrup, jam, or candy add significant sugar.
The edible pulp clings tightly to the seed, making accidental seed exposure common. Sweetened nance beverages are not equivalent to plain fruit. Pet safety data is limited.
