This morning on our walk, Alpie and I came across a guinep tree! This little fruit with its intense sweet-tangy flavor in native over a wide area of the tropics, including South and Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and parts of Africa and the Pacific.
To eat it is interesting. The skin (rind) is easy to crack open, and then you slide the whole fruit in your mouth (about the size of a big marble) and you just keeping sucking it for a few minutes until all flesh eventually comes off and you're left with a pit. Yes, to eat even five of these is extremely time-consuming... a good weekend fruit :-)
