About Spanish lime

Spanish lime, also known as mamoncillo or quenepa, is a tropical fruit native to the Caribbean, Central, and South America. It grows in clusters on trees and features a green, thin, and leathery skin encasing a juicy, tart pulp around a large seed. Spanish lime is rich in vitamin C, which supports the immune system and promotes healthy skin. It also contains fiber for digestive health and antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress. While it offers essential nutrients, moderation is key as the pulp is high in natural sugars. Its chewy texture and unique flavor make it a popular snack in many Latin American cuisines, often enjoyed fresh or used in juices, jams, and desserts. Additionally, the seed can be roasted and consumed for added fiber and protein. Spanish lime is a versatile fruit that packs both nutrition and delightful tropical taste.
