I love tropical fruits. Some fruits as the Guanabana has a bitter-sweet flavor and other fruits are so sweet such as a good Mango or mangosteen.
Some of my favorite fruits that you should try in Panama are:
- Guanábana: Is a large fruit whci can be up to 42cm long and weight up to 4kg. Th shape is ovoid and curde at the lower end with thin, shiny, dark green skin that is covered with thorns. The inside flesh is delicious, white, juice and bitter-sweet. One of my favorite tropical juices is the Guanabana and you can eat if fresh fruit, juice or as a sorbet.
- Mango: definitely one of my favoritefruites. Is aromatic, sweet and tasty. There are so many different varieties of mangos and in Panama you have many different options. The most common way to eat it is as a whole fresh fruit. The pulp however is used for chutney, jellies, and juices.
- Mangosteen: this is also a delicious tropical fruit. Is round, fleshy with a diameter between 6 and 7cm and smoth skin. The flesh is white and sweet and very juicy. It is a very delicate flavor and is eaten fresh. This fruit has a lot of vitamin C, B1 and B2 and is exellent source of potassium and calcium.
- Tamarindo: this small, round fruit mainly brown in color can be made into jellies, sauces and juices. This fruietaids digestion and helps gastritis and gastroenterities. My grandmother used to made tamarind balls with sugar as a candy when we were kids. Amazingly delicious.
