Mangoes are a Jamaican favorite that is regularly consumed when in season. My favorite thing to do is go to the local market
Jackfruit (A) – Don’t let the smell turn you off. You will love it trust me! Jackfruit is the largest tree borne fruit in the world. You will see them selling Jackfruit on the roadside on the route from Ocho Rios to Montego Bay.
Guinep (B) – I used to love these as a kid. I still do! They are very common during the summer months. When they are in season you will see a lot of people on the roadside selling them.
The guinep is a large seed covered by a thin beige coloured pulp that has a sweet and tangy taste.
Sweet sop (C) – Another name for this fruit is Sugar Apple; however, in Jamaica we call it Sweet sop. These are a personal favorite.
The sweetsop skin is lumpy but don’t be fooled by the texture. When ripe they are soft and you can break them open. There are a series of black seeds covered by a white creamy custard like flesh.
