Yes, the mamon is the better fruit. I guess you can't judge a fruit by its cover.
The mamon has a sweet smell when it is opened. It has the texture of a peeled grape. It is quite sweet to eat and you have to eat around a big pit in the middle. There isn't much fruit to eat in just one mamon. From our plant book, the Mamon is originally from Malaysia where it is also used to produce red dye used in batik and folk medicines.
The granadilla is also sweet tasting. You use a spoon to eat it out of the peel because it is gooey and slimy and doesn't have a shape of its own. You also have a crunch since you are eating all of the seeds. You need to get past the texture if you want to enjoy the granadilla.

Just catching up on your adventures! We've had mamon and also liked it but it was called rambutan (not sure of the spelling). Miss you in MN!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are enjoying the local delicacies, but I'm sticking with raspberries and blueberries. I'd live to have a recording of your driving adventures! Take care...
