Mamones

A vendor kindly gave me a small bunch of mamones after showing me how to eat them. The skin breaks off quite easily to reveal a slimy grape-like fruit. The stringy flesh was rather hard to remove from the seed. However, with a little practice I began to enjoy these lip puckering lime-like fruit.

In Puerto Rico we call the green ones "Quenepas". Say like this for how we name the fruit; " KKennepas ". Now u. You got it right.... :). That's in Spanish. You get most of them at Ponce Puerto Rico. There are ones that are more sweet than others. The very sweet tasty flavor ones are out of this world. You'll like them a lot ;)
