Fresh Spanish Limes (genip,mamoncillo,quenepa,limoncillo) 3 Lbs

Spanish Limes, as they are called in the US, got their name because they resemble small, unripe limes. Typically clustered on a branch and usually sold as such, the thin skin is smooth and leathery. The pulp, gelatinous and glistening is called an "aril" and looks very similar to a lychee. The aril is the colorful, fleshy covering that clings to the seed of the Mamoncillo. The aril can range in color from orange to yellow and its taste can be both sweet and sour. When the fruit is ripe, the pulp is sweetly acidic and has been compared to a cross between a lime and a lychee.
