Guest guest Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks for the web link! Are there any other exotic fruits we might be able to experience? Even veggies out there that we may not ever heard of?? Sincerely, Jeanie P.S. THESE are the type of things I think this group is more excited to be talking about. Lets keep it going, and put less focus on issues that detract from the raw lifestyle. jmho. :-) your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 In Puerto Rico, they are cheap and plentiful and go by the name mamey. Look for mameys in Puerto Rican or Caribbean markets in the city. I have three Corazon cherimoyas in my yard. They are my favorite type of cherimoya. The corazons (heart) cherimoyas are red and shaped like a human heart. They are super rich and creamy. Birds get most of my corazons. I see them watching my fruit as it ripens. I also have anones in my yard as well. They are delicious but not as sweet. Guayanabana are the really spiky green ones and the most super sweet. Their flesh is the consistency of steamed fish, and they taste like a super sweet bubble gum. There is a tall guayanabana tree at the institute. They are similar to the jack fruit, which are like less cheesy durian. We are entering the first mango season (the second is in November.) This time of year, you can get delicious mangoes that are the size of your head for 50 cents each. Some mango varieties taste fishy when they have been dehydrated but these giant ones turn sweet as candy. Our dehydrator will be running non-stop with mangoes for the next two months. We try to dry 100 lbs of mango per season, but it never seems to last until the next. I highly recommend to all raw foodists to move to the tropics. The land and trees support you all year round. *********************************************************** Tom Spontelli Instructor Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute Aguada PR 00602 USA www.AnnWigmore.org Two week Living Foods Lifestyle Certification Program on tropical beach at one of the world's most respected Lifing Foods Institutes. *********************************************************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Mamey! That's what I was talking about. So yummy. The mamey I know, is not white. It has a dark creamy color. Jeannie your time is the most cherished gift of all, tomorrow is promised to no one.

I know mamey... they have them here in New York City if you look around enough.

Done that! I grew up with hurricanes in southeastern Virginia on the North Carolina border. At this point in my life, I don't need to live in Hurricane Alley, no matter how nice it is between hurricane seasons. I also don't need to have to drive everywhere I want to go, with all the attendant costs involved, of maintaining an automobile, paying taxes, dealing with upkeep and repairs, freaking when the car won't go..... (there are all sorts of different kinds of paradises, don't you know!) If I ever marry that millionaire, we will have a place in the tropics to escape to for a month or two in when we are in the colder months here, (unless I find out that there is adverse weather there then, too!), and we will have a driver to take us around to wherever we need to go. Meanwhile, we can get most vegetables and fruit here in NYC -- actually, about the only food you cannot get easily here is Southern food! They bring vegetables and fruit here from almost everywhere (immigrants never need to feel they are in America!!!! unlike people from here who go to live in the tropics!-- I just remember each time I came back to the States and was surprised to remember all the things that you can get here! You get used to deprivation, and then forget that it is happening, when you live out of the States. You might even think you are in paradise, and you might be, depending on your mindset. Then, again..... oh well! Been there! Done that! Karma cleared! I might move back to PR or Mexico -- have nixed Venezuela for now-- after I retire, if I can manipulate the walker, but only for non-PC reasons.... at least for now, what paltry social security I might get would go a bit further, provided .... oh, shut up Margaret.) M ferry us around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
