Quenepas, also known as Spanish lime or mamoncillo, are small, round fruits native to the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of northern South America. They grow in clusters on trees and have a green, leathery outer skin that encases a juicy, tangy-sweet pulp surrounding a large seed. High in vitamin C, quenepas support immune health and provide antioxidants. They also contain fiber, which aids digestion, and small amounts of iron and phosphorus for bone and blood health. However, their natural sugars make them a calorie-dense snack when eaten in large amounts. Quenepas are often enjoyed fresh, as a refreshing treat or included in beverages and jams. Popular in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine, they are a nutritious, tropical indulgence when consumed in moderation.
