About Mamoncillo

Mamoncillo, also called Spanish lime, is the small round fruit of a tropical tree, with a thin green skin and a large seed surrounded by translucent, juicy pulp. The pulp is usually eaten fresh by sucking it from the seed; it is also used in drinks and preserves.

Its flavour is sweet-tart and sometimes mildly astringent, with a soft, slippery texture. Fruit is sold fresh, while peeled pulp may be frozen or processed. Nutrition comparisons depend on whether measurements refer to the pulp alone or include peel and seed, and on any added ingredients in processed products.
