About this gift
Quenepas (Mamoncillo Fruit)
Spanish limes are a fruit with a thousand names. Quenepas in Puerto Rico, mamoncillos across the Spanish-speaking Caribbean, guineps in Jamaica, kenep in Haiti, limoncillo in the Dominican Republic, and mamón or jocote depending on which country in Central America you ask. Nearly every country has its own name for the fruit also known as quenepa. Despite the lime in the name, the Spanish lime is not actually a citrus fruit. From the outside it looks like a miniature lime, or close to a key lime, with skin that's a beautiful green, leathery and hard like a shell. Crack it open and you get translucent orange flesh wrapped tightly around a single large seed. The Spanish lime is related to lychee, rambutan, and longan rather than anything in the citrus family.
As for what a Spanish lime tastes like, imagine lime crossed with lychee, with citrus notes, a hint of tamarind, and the sweet-tart finish Puerto Ricans love.
