Guarapo de Jagua / Genipa Fermented Drink (Vegan)
It’s ‘Kenèp’ season! Ever since I was a kid, my favorite thing to do was to guess which fruits had twin seeds inside. Melicoccus bijugatus, commonly called Spanish lime, genip, guinep, genipe, ginepa, kenèp, quenepa, quenepe, chenet, canepa, mamón, limoncillo, skinip, kinnip, huaya, or mamoncillo, is native to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean to northern South America. The fruits, which are usually sold in bunches from street vendors, are usually eaten out of hand. After the brittle skin is cracked open, the fruit is squeezed into the mouth and the juice sucked from the pulp. In Columbia, the peeled fruits are boiled and the resulting juice is chilled and served as a refreshing drink on hot days (similar to kampot in case any Eastern Europeans saw these in the market and didn’t know what to do with them). In Mexico, the more acidic fruits are eaten with chilies, salt, and lime juice. Here in Haiti, we prefer to add these to a bottle of rum or corn alcohol to make a deliciously infused cocktail. The seeds are edible and can be roasted like sunflower seeds or chestnuts. The pulp can also produce a brown dye that was used in the West Indies by native Arawak people to dye clothing. #growninhaiti #kenep #ginepa #genip #spanishlime #MelicoccusBijugatus #fruit #exotic #tropical #haiti #ayiti #seasonal #native #organic #arawak #dye #foodforest #reforestation #preservation #plantsomething #seeds #twins

Genip
I got some genip. I heard that genip was in season for a while so I am late in getting the fruit. I will enjoy. The fruit is dangerous but I've had lots of practice eating genip as a child.
Micro-Cuentos de Hadas 32: Aladino y la Lámpara Maravillosa II
by @ulmo80
Mientras avanzaba a través de la desolación provocada por su primer deseo, la aterradora melodía nacida de quejidos, llanto, gritos de dolor, miedo y rabia, acompañaba cada uno de sus pasos por el ahora irreconocible lugar. Entonces, lo único que se le ocurrió a Aladino para ayudar a las víctimas fue pedir oro. “El oro puede solucionar todo, ¿verdad?” Y así lo hizo, desesperado, sin detenerse a pensar en los detalles; frotó la lámpara y, antes de que el genio terminara de materializarse, formuló su deseo:
—Deseo riquezas… Oro, plata, piedras preciosas.
Por desgracia, el genio seguía en sus trece. Mil años solo, abandonado, olvidado. ¿Y ahora lo mangoneaban porque tenían su lámpara? El mocoso insolente estaba muy equivocado.
Monedas de oro y plata, zafiros, rubíes, diamantes, esmeraldas y cuantas joyas se pudieran imaginar, empezaron a caer sobre la cabeza de Aladino cual granizo, lastimándolo. Sin importar en donde se refugiase, la tan anhelada y ahora necesaria riqueza, lo lapidaba, hasta que llegó un momento en que se desvaneció a causa del dolor y terminó sepultado.

There is a fruit & vegetable stand I went to buy tomatoes and noticed this fruit that looks like a hairy strawberry. I was intimidated to eat anything that has a mutant bean sprout strawberry looking appearance.
I asked what is it and what does it taste like. I was told it is rambutan & taste like lychee. I asked if I can take one to try at home.
I sliced it open & notice it look very similar to a quenepa known in English as genip. It tasted similar to a very mild flavored grape. Personally, a grape taste better than rambutan. Overall, I wasn't impressed by its flavor, nor would I buy any rambuten.
All my 🇩🇲 and Caribbean folks...you know what this is😁🤤..some call it manchillo (another culture) but we call it kenip or genip depending on pronunciation. #yesss #genip #kenip #caribbean #dominica #dominican #island #islander #publix #shopping https://www.instagram.com/p/ByrF1h2F3PE/?igshid=13ble62299c6c
