kukoto
Kukoto is a term that can refer to several different things depending on the context, though it is most commonly associated with a type of fruit. In some parts of Africa, particularly in East Africa, kukoto refers to the fruit of the marula tree. This fruit is known for its distinctive tangy and nutty flavor and is a popular food source for both humans and animals. The marula fruit ripens and falls from the tree, and its sweet yellow pulp is often eaten fresh or used to make jams, juices, and even alcoholic beverages. The marula tree itself is significant culturally and economically in these regions.
Beyond its association with the marula fruit, the word "kukoto" might appear in other, less common contexts.
