These common foods can be so dangerous, they can kill you

Ackee

The Ackee plant is native to West Africa, and is also cultivated in Jamaica, where the ripened fruit is a particularly delicious local favourite. It’s part of Jamaica’s national dish, ackee and saltfish, and has a buttery, creamy texture and mild taste. However, if ackee is picked before fully ripening, it can contain toxic levels of hypoglycin A, which may cause vomiting, hypoglycemia, and even death. Its seeds are also poisonous. It’s considered so dangerous that the US banned any imports of ackee fruit until 2005, when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said they will only accept shipments with very low doses of toxin.
