Mamoncillo fuit (Melicoccus bijugatus), Dr.Abhay KLumar Pati, Biotecahyur, Odisha, India

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Dr.Abhay Kuamr Pati, Best Nutrition, Hayward, CA, USA, Mamoncillo fuit (Melicoccus bijugatus), also known as mamón, chenet (in Trinidad and Tobago), guaya, gnep, ginep, skinnip (in Jamaica, St. Kitts) genip, guinep, ginnip, kenèp (in Guyana, Haiti, Belize, Bahamas) quenepa, genepa, xenepa (in Puerto Rico), and Spanish lime, limoncillo (in the Dominican Republic), is a fruit in the soapberry family Sapindaceae, native or naturalised over a wide area of the American tropics including Central America, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Suriname and the Caribbean.
The fruit is an ovoid, green fruit, which grow in bunches. For eating out-of-hand, the rind is merely torn open at the stem end and the pulp-coated seed is squeezed into the mouth, the juice being sucked from the pulp until there is nothing left of it but the fiber. With fruits that have non-adherent pulp, the latter may be scraped from the seed and utilized to make pie-filling, jam, marmalade or jelly, but this entails much work for the small amount of edible material realized. More commonly, the peeled fruits are boiled and the resulting juice is prized for cold drinks. In Colombia, the juice is canned commercially.
The seeds are eaten after roasting. Indians of the Orinoco consume the cooked seeds as a substitute for cassava.
