It is called pronounced Ke-ne-pa.


It is a fruit that is the size of a grape. It has a thin shell that's green. You take that off and inside its a seed that's got these super sweet velvety pulp. Kinda like a mini mango, if you've ever had one of those. It's along the same lines. You just suck on them until you're left with nothing but the big seed.

It grows on a tree in clusters like grapes. They only grow during certain times of the year, and the seeds are dangerous because of the choking hazard to small kids. We used to hate that because our grandparents used to always make us eat them on the "half shell" because they thought we would choke on it if we put the whole thing in our mouth. We probably would have, so I guess I'm glad now. Hated that when I was little though.
