Guanabanas


Yesterday morning, a neighbor stopped by and gave Carlos and me 2 big (about the size of small footballs) guanabana fruits. These are really tasty lumpy green fruits that have soft prickles on the outside. When they are ripe, you cut them open and eat the squishy flesh -- spitting out any large black seeds you encounter. We have made juice from this fruit's pulp before (a few times) and it is great! The flavor is kind of like sour/sweet pineapple and a very "tropical" flavor (I have no idea what that means -- you should try one). These aren't quite ripe yet, but we will eat them for dessert when they are!

Yum -- you can actually find that (and guanabana ice cream too) in Miami!
