That's s-not a fruit...or is it?





This fruit is called - "Guanadilla" but also called "snot fruit". It has a hard outer shell that is yellowish/tan about the size of a tennis ball. The when broken open soft white pulp surrounds a transparent sac of black seeds which are eaten. The typical fashion of eating a guandadilla is by making a small hole, and then quickly slurping as much of the seeds into your mouth as you can. It tastes sweet almost like grapes. If you can get past the texture, they are really health, the fruit contains vitamins A, C, and K, phosphorus, iron, and calcium.

Our other favorite fruits include: mango, white-pineapple, and of course bananas!
