	Monstera deliciosa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monstera deliciosa (also called Ceriman, Monster fruit, Monstereo, Swiss Cheese Plant, Mexican Breadfruit, and Windowleaf) is a creeping vine native to tropical rainforests from southern Mexico south to Panama.
		Eating the immature fruit which has not matured and still has the kernels firmly attached, exposes the throat to the oxalic acid and is dangerous.
		Monstera deliciosa is commonly grown as a houseplant for decoration, typically in hotels, restaurants and offices, as well as in private homes.

	Floridata: Monstera deliciosa
		Monstera deliciosa occurs naturally in the tropical jungles of Central America from southern Mexico to Panama.
		Windowleaf was formerly grown in greenhouses in England for the edible fruits, called cerimans or monsteras, and is still cultivated for that purpose (outdoors) in parts of Central America, Australia, California and South Florida.
		The genus Monstera is closely related to Philodendron, and windowleaf is sometimes called split-leaf or cut-leaf philodendron because it was formerly classified in that genus.

	monstera
		In some countries the monstera is popular as a house plant.

		It grows like an elongated pinecone; when ripe, the hexagonal plates on its surface split apart, exposing a creamy, tart-sweet fruit that looks something like a banana, with a pineapple-banana flavor.
		Monstera, called ceriman in Spanish-speaking countries, grows in Florida and California, and is sometimes sold in gourmet produce markets in Northern cities.
		If you buy it, let it ripen at room temperature; do not eat it until it is fully ripe (when the surface scales fall off), or it will irritate the mouth and throat.

	Monstera Deliciosa - Delicious Monster Fruit!
		Norman Van Aken continues, "You take a small sharp knife and cut into the fruit and scrape off the kernels into a bowl." Unripe will cause irritation to the throat and mouth because of the oxalic acid (as, you can imagine, they don't taste good unripe either) so be patient.
		Once ripe, you will be rewarded with a unique, custard texture, pale yellow color, and tropical flavor of the Monstera Deliciosa.
		Use: Used to flavor drinks and ice cream or can be eaten as a fresh fruit once ripened.

		Further insight into the factors which may regulate idioblast origin has been gained from the intensive study of so-called "differential divisions" during histogenesis.
		Bloch (1946) found that the branched sclereids in aerial roots of Monstera originate from the "polarized" and unequal divisions of certain cells at the basal ends of the vertical files of young cortical parenchyma cells.
		Following the unequational division of each "mother cell," the smaller of the two daughter cells is densely cytoplasmic, possesses an enlarged nucleu, and ultimately develops into a ramified sclereid; the larger of the two daughter cells becomes a parenchyma cell of the cortex.
