KEY limes

Melicoccus bijugatus. NOT related to citrus. It’s a delicious fruit in the summer. You crack the skin with your teeth and remove the juicy center. You don’t want to bite it too hard. It’s a large seed with flesh that doesn’t really come off. You kind of just work the juice off of it. That’s the best way I can explain it.

Not key limes.
Quenepas.

Quenepas to Latin Americans. I believe Jamaicans and possibly other English-speaking Caribbean folks call them Guineps. One of my favorite fruits! Growing up in NYC, vendors used to sell them on the street. You could buy them through your car window at red lights haha. Good times.

My mom is salvadoreña and they just call the mamones
Boines
I fucking love these.
Just as a note:
In Barbados people call them ackee. Yes, there is an entirely different fruit that’s actually ackee. No, as far as I know no other Carribean islands call these ackee, it’s usually guinep in the Carribean.
It was so confusing for me as a kid coming back from a trip to Barbados (my dad is from there so I’ve been a bunch) and trying to look up if I could get ackee anywhere here and just kept seeing this weird shit that is not the ackee I knew.
