Fruits of Guyana 1: Gunip

This flavorful fruit is grown by the hundreds and thousands on trees throughout Guyana. The skill is picking a really ripe Gunip and you can tell that it is ripe because one you pop it in your mouth, it will melt.

For those of you who have never had one of these, you split this green fruit and discard the outer green skin. Once you suck on the fruit and all of the bright orange flesh is gone, you discard the seed. Sometimes you will get one that is huge and has two seeds, it is often called a "twin".
