Puerto Rican Slimy Fruit ??

Question

I was a Navy brat and my dad was stationed in Puerto Rico when I was 7-10 years old.

There was a fruit there that I absolutely loved. It was green and I want to say it was in a shell or pod and slimy (inside the casing) and that it also had a pit.

I seem to recall it was a major choking hazard for kids.

Does anyone know what it is?

Answer 1

They're called gunips.  So delicious!  They sell them on the streets of Miami for a dollar.

Answer 2

They are called Mamoncillo (aka gunips or honey berries).

Each mamoncillo fruit has a large seed inside a slimy protective coating.  The seed is the same ovoid shape as the fruit itself. Mamoncillo seeds can be roasted and eaten just like sunflower seeds or chestnuts

Answer 3

It sounds like a mango.

What are gunips??
