Forgive my ignorance, but what are kenepas? What do they taste like? I can see that they are small and green and citrus(?)?

Funky, I saw these walking on DeKalb Ave. on my way to Brooklyn Tech. It's the first time I've seen them. $3/lb. They didn't look so alive though.

Do you know where I can buy these? I'd like to get my hands on some, but have been unsuccessful in finding a supplier online and locally (Michigan).

I find them often in Tampa, but the growing season is very short. Found only in late June, early July at least in Puerto Rico. They are a very unusual fruit, not at all like an olive, the look is very misleading. More like a plum but smaller, a very exotic taste. Nothing like anything I've ever tasted. The skin surrong the fruit breaks open at the slighest bite. A pit is inside which you munch the fruit off of. Would make a great mixer for Rum if you could juice it.

I love this fruit. They are usual in Colombia South America where they are called "mamoncillo" singular and "mamoncillos" as plural. It really has its particular taste. Will try to get them in NYC. ... hope some of you have already had the chance to try this marvel of the fruit kingdom....
